We discuss our present knowledge of $\alpha_s$, the fundamental running coupling or effective charge of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). A precise understanding of the running of $\alpha_s(Q^2) $ at high momentum transfer, $Q$, is necessary…
In this contribution to the proceedings, we analyze the transition from perturbative and non- perturbative QCD embedded in the coupling constant. In the study of quark-hadron duality, we suggest that the realization of the latter is related…
The QCD running coupling costant is studied in the perturbative region, considering the existing experimental data, and also in the nonperurbative region, at low momentum transfer. A continous phenomenological function is determined by…
The QCD analytic running coupling alpha_{an} which has no nonphysical singularities for all Q^2>0 is considered for the initial perturbation theory approximations up to four loop order. The finiteness of the analytic coupling at zero is…
We extract an effective strong coupling constant using low-Q^2 data and sum rules. Its behavior is established over the full Q^2-range and is compared to calculations based on lattice QCD, Schwinger-Dyson equations and a quark model.…
In contrast to perturbative QCD, the analytic QCD models have running coupling whose analytic properties correctly mirror those of spacelike observables. The discontinuity (spectral) function of such running coupling is expected to agree…
We discuss phenomenological tests for the frozen infrared behavior of the running coupling constant and gluon propagators found in some solutions of Schwinger-Dyson equations of the gluonic sector of QCD. We verify that several observables…
This thesis is devoted to the study of some aspects of perturbative QCD, and in particular to the development of high-precision techniques for the extraction of physical parameters such as structure functions, parton distributions, and the…

We present a first attempt to experimentally extract an effective strong coupling constant that we define to be a low Q2 extension of a previous definition by S. Brodsky et al. following an initial work of G. Grunberg. Using Jefferson Lab…
We review the long term project of the ALPHA collaboration to compute in QCD the running coupling constant and quark masses at high energy scales in terms of low energy hadronic quantities. The adapted techniques required to numerically…
Models of hadron structure are associated with a hadronic scale which allows by perturbative evolution to calculate observables in the deep inelastic region. The resolution of Dyson-Schwinger equations leads to the freezing of the QCD…
Analytic QCD models are those where the QCD running coupling has the physically correct analytic behavior, i.e., no Landau singularities in the Euclidean regime. We present a simple analytic QCD model in which the discontinuity function of…
