Hi,

   You should get a lot further if you stick with LaTeX commands
   (as opposed to plain TeX) ... use \newcommand instead of \def
   and \mathcal instead of \cal:

   Try:

   \newcommand{\oos}{$\mathcal{O}(\alpha \alpha_s^2)$}

   ... and ensure the definition is in the document preamble
   (i.e. between \documentclass... and \begin{document}).

   Hope that helps.
