Effective Charges in Practice

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

Experimental results on event shapes obtained within (or related to) the method of Effective Charges are discussed in view of measurements of the strong coupling, alpha_s, the beta-function and non-perturbative contributions to event shapes. The data strongly advocate to use of the ECH scheme instead of the conventional MSbar scheme.
