The strong coupling $\alpha_\mathrm{s}$ can be obtained from the static energy as shown in previous lattices studies. For short distances, the static energy can be calculated both on the lattice with the use of Wilson line correlators, and…
In this paper we compare recent experimental data for the total cross section $\sigma(e^+e^-\to{hadrons})$ with the up-to-date theoretical prediction of perturbative QCD for those energies where perturbation theory is reliable. The…
We use the available data on e+ e- -> hadrons to determine the value of the QED coupling at the Z pole. The inclusion of recent preliminary BES-II data in the analysis is found to reduce the ambiguity in the determination of the coupling,…
In this paper, we discuss the impact of a higher number of light quark flavors, $N_f$, on the QCD phase diagram under extreme conditions. Our formalism is based on the Schwinger-Dyson equation, employing a specific symmetry-preserving…

The strong-coupling constant is determined from the low-momentum region of the transverse-momentum distribution of $Z$ bosons produced through the Drell-Yan process, using predictions at third order in perturbative QCD. The analysis employs…
We employ data taken by the JADE and OPAL experiments for an integrated QCD study in hadronic e+e- annihilations at c.m.s. energies ranging from 35 GeV through 189 GeV. The study is based on jet-multiplicity related observables. The…
We perform the first global QCD analysis of electron-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering and related high-energy data including the beyond the Standard Model $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge boson, $Z'$. Contrary to the dark photon case, we find no…
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…
A phenomenological estimate is derived such that the binding energies of dimesons are expressed as combinations of masses of different mesons and baryons. The estimate is almost model-independent, the only major assumptions being that the…
In this talk we introduce the main features of a QCD-based model in which the coupling $\alpha_{s}$ is constrained by an infrared mass scale. We show recent applications of this model to hadron-hadron collisions, gap survival probability…
We investigate the uncertainty in the value of the strong coupling $\alpha_S(M_Z^2)$ when allowing it to be a free parameter in the recent MMHT global analyses of deep-inelastic and related hard scattering data that was undertaken to…
Extending earlier work on strong-coupling meson-baryon scattering in QCD_2, we derive the effective meson-baryon action for any value of the coupling constant, in the large-N_c limit. Colour degrees of freedom play an important role, and we…
Deep inelastic scattering data on $F_2$ structure function obtained by BCDMS, SLAC and NMC collaborations in fixed-target experiments were analyzed in the non-singlet approximation with next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy. The strong…
Re-analysed JADE data were used to determine alpha_S at sqrt{s} = 14-44 GeV on the basis of resummed calculations for event shapes and hadronisation models tuned to LEP data. The combined result is alpha_S(M_Z) = 0.1194 +/- 0.0082/0.0068…
The coupling constant of the meson vertex $J/\psi D_s D_s$ is calculated using the three point correlation function within the QCD Sum Rule formalism. We have considered alternately mesons $J/\psi$ and $D_s$ off-shell together with…
Event shape data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment between sqrt(s)=14 and 44 GeV are used to determine the strong coupling alpha_S. QCD predictionscomplete to next-to-next-to-leading order (NLLO),…
The ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ coefficient of the energy-energy correlation function (EEC) has been calculated by four groups with differing results. This discrepancy has lead to some confusion over how to measure the strong coupling constant…
