Abstract

An experimental motivated QCD analysis of the behaviour of the Adler D-function in the Euclidian region is described. It is stressed that by taking account of bb-quark mass-dependent αs2\alpha_s^2-effects one obtains better agreement between theoretical predictions and experimentally motivated behaviour of the D-function at large Euclidian momentum transfer. A more detailed analysis of QCD predictions, including information on quark and gluon condensates, requires more precise data on e+ehadronse^+e^-\to{hadrons}, particularly in the region E<MJ/ΨE<M_{J/\Psi} and MJ/Ψ<E<3.6GeVM_{J/\Psi}<E<3.6 GeV. use of experimental determination of the D-function to test the generalized Crewther relation is outlined.
