The highest exclusive jet multiplicity studied at LEP experiments is five. In this paper we compute the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to e+e- annihilation to five jets, essentially closing the (pure) perturbative QCD studies of exclusive jetty final states at LEP. We compare fixed-order perturbative results with ALEPH data. We estimate hadronization corrections to five-jet observables using the event generator SHERPA, which employs the CKKW procedure to combine a reliable perturbative treatment of high-multiplicity jet final states with parton showers. We show that a competitive value of the strong coupling constant alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.1156 +0.0041 -0.0034 can be extracted from the distribution of the five-jet resolution parameter and the five-jet rate at LEP1 and LEP2.

Jet production at electron-positron colliders at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD
This paper reports the first direct fully differential N3LO QCD calculation of two-jet production in e+e- annihilation, using new antenna subtraction counterterms for triple-unresolved radiation.

Recoil-Safe Subtraction, Matching and Merging in e+e- to hadrons
The Alaric shower is matched to NLO matrix elements and merged to five jets in e+e- to hadrons, with new analytic subtraction terms validated against Catani-Seymour subtraction.
