Measurements of jet production and the strong coupling constant at ATLAS

The measurement of new event-shape jet observables defined in terms the energy mover’s distance are discussed. This is applied to LHC data from ATLAS. In addition, measurements of variables probing the properties of the multijet energy flow are highlighted. The measurements are compared to state-of-the-art NLO and NNLO predictions, and used to determine the strong coupling constant. Finally, a precise measurement of the production properties of the Z-boson in the full phase space of the decay leptons is presented and used to determine the strong coupling constant in a novel approach.
