Determination of the strong coupling constant from multi-jet production with the ATLAS detector

The strong coupling constant alpha_S is measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using 38 pb^−1 of data recorded by the ATLAS detector. An inclusive jet production ratio distribution is used to reduce parton distribution functions dependence and measure the coupling s...
