Perturbative QCD fitting of KEDR and BESIII $e^+e^-$ data for R(s) and $\alpha_s$ determination
Abstract
The experimental data collected by KEDR and BESIII collaborations at the energies below charm quark thresholds are compared with the QCD expressions for the annihilation R-ratio truncated at different orders of perturbation theory. The fits demonstrate the dependence of the extracted values from orders of the truncation of the corresponding approximations. The next-to-leading order, next-to-next-to-leading order and next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order fits of the combined KEDR data and BESIII data , truncated at the mass scale of meson, give the following results , and . The subjects related to the applications of the fixed orders of perturbation theory expansions and careful treatment of the analytical continuation effects are commented.
