Please take note of this week's DESY seminar: Determining the strong coupling \alpha_s by lattice gauge theory ---------------------------------------------------------------- Rainer Sommer DESY Zeuthen Abstract: We explain how the strong coupling at large energies can be determined by means of lattice gauge theory. Particular emphasis is put on how the different systematic errors are controlled. Results obtained by the ALPHA-collaboration on the APE-computers at Zeuthen are presented: 1) The Lambda-parameter in the flavourless theory as a test case and 2) the current status of the computation of the energy dependence of the coupling with dynamical quarks. Date: 9.5.00 Venue: Seminar Room 2 <----------- please note change !!!! Time: 17:00 (16:45 tea)
