Abstract

The results of LO {\it Fixed point} QCD (FP-QCD) analysis of the CCFR data for the nucleon structure function  xF3(x,Q2) ~xF_3(x,Q^2)~ are presented. The predictions of FP-QCD, in which  αs(Q2) ~\alpha_{s}(Q^2)~ tends to a nonzero coupling constant α0\alpha_{0} as  Q2 ,~Q^2\to \infty~, are in good agreement with the data. If  α0 ~\alpha_{0}~ is a first order zero of the  β ~\beta~ function, constraints for the possible values of the  β ~\beta~ function parameter  b ~b~ regulating how fast  αs(Q2) ~\alpha_ s(Q^2)~ tends to its asymptotic value  α0 ~\alpha_{0}~ are found from the data. The corresponding values of  α0 ~\alpha_{0}~ are also determined. Having in mind the recent QCD fits to the same data we conclude that in spite of the high precision and the large  (x,Q2) ~(x,Q^2)~ kinematic range of the CCFR data they cannot discriminate between QCD and FP-QCD predictions for  xF3(x,Q2) ~xF_3(x,Q^2)~.
