The running QCD coupling in the pre-asymptotic region

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We study deviations from the perturbative asymptotic behaviour in the running QCD coupling by analysing non-perturbative measurements of alpha_s (p) at low momenta as obtained from the lattice three-gluon vertex. Our exploratory study provides some evidence for power corrections to the perturbative running proportional to 1/p^2.
