description

From the data collected by DELPHI at LEP in autumn 1995, the multiplicity of charged particles at a hadronic energy of 130 GeV has been measured to be = 23:84 0:51(stat) 0:52(syst). When compared to lower energy data, the value measured is consistent with the evolution predicted by QCD with corrections at next-to-leading order, for a value s(130GeV) = 0:105 0:003(stat) 0:008(syst).
