$\alpha_s$(2019): Precision measurements of the QCD coupling
Abstract
This document collects a written summary of all contributions presented at the workshop "(2019): Precision measurements of the strong coupling" held at ECT* (Trento) in Feb. 11--15, 2019. The workshop explored in depth the latest developments on the determination of the QCD coupling from the key categories where high precision measurements are available: (i) lattice QCD, (ii) hadronic decays, (iii) deep-inelastic scattering and parton distribution functions, (iv) event shapes, jet cross sections, and other hadronic final-states in collisions, (v) Z boson and W boson hadronic decays, and (vi) hadronic final states in p-p collisions. The status of the current theoretical and experimental uncertainties associated to each extraction method, and future perspectives were thoroughly reviewed. Novel determination approaches were discussed, as well as the combination method used to obtain a world-average value of the QCD coupling at the Z mass pole.
