Hadronic event shape distributions are determined from data in e +e- collisions between 183 and 207 GeV. From these the strong coupling αs is extracted in O(αs2), NLLA and matched O(αs2)+NLLA theory. Hadronisation corrections evaluated with fragmentation model generators as well as an analytical power ansatz are applied. Comparing these measurements to those obtained at and around Mz allows a combined measurement of αs from all DELPHI data and a test of the energy dependence of the strong coupling. © Springer-Verlag / Società Italiana di Fisica 2004.
