The strong coupling constant ($\alpha_{S}$) is a fundamental parameter of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the strong force. Some of the earliest precise constraints on $\alpha_{S}$ came from measurements of event shape…
Using recent values of \alpha_s, the gluon condensates <\alpha_s G^2> and <g^3 f_abcG^3> and the new data on the \psi/\Upsilon-families, we update our determinations of the MS-bar running quark masses m_c,b(m_c,b) from the SVZ-Moments…
