Erratum

Erratum to "New jet cluster algorithms: next-to-leading order QCD and hadronization corrections" [Nucl. Phys. B 370 (1992) 310] S. Bethke l, Z. Kunszt, D.E. Soper, W.J. Stirling A subtle misprint in the first line of numbers in Table 2 was reported to us only recently. This misprint, which is present in the journal but not in the preprint version ( C E R N - T H . 6 2 2 2 / 9 1 ) , may result in an overestimate of o~s by 5 to 10 % if determined from measurements of jet production rates using JADE type jet finding algorithms. In particular, the parameter kl parametrising the leading order coefficient A ( y ) for the relative production rate of 3-jet events using the JADE-type jet algorithms (c.f. Eqs. (19) and ( 2 2 ) ) , should correctly be - 6 . 5 1 3 (as given in the preprint) instead of - 6 . 1 5 3 (as misprinted in the journal version). The c o r r e c t part of Table 2 should therefore read: F
