The status of determinations of the QCD coupling constant, alphas, at HERA is reviewed. Since jet final states provide the most relevant input to the HERA determinations of alphas, the relevant methods used in and results from jet physics…
We present two determinations of the strong coupling \(\alpha_s\). The first one is from the static energy at three-loop accuracy, and may be considered an update of earlier determinations by some of us. The new analysis includes new…
In this paper we discuss effective strong coupling constants. Those are well behaved in the low-Q^2 domain, contrarily to alpha_s from pQCD. We present an extraction of an effective strong coupling constant from Jefferson Lab polarized data…

We summarize the status of determinations of fundamental parameters of QCD by the ALPHA Collaboration.
A survey is given on the present status of the nucleon parton distributions and related precision calculations and precision measurements of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(M_Z^2)$. We also discuss the impact of these quantities on…

We determine the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ from a lattice calculation of vacuum polarization functions (VPF) in three-flavor QCD with dynamical overlap fermions. Fitting lattice data of VPF to the continuum perturbative formula…

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…
The asymptotical behaviour of the QCD coupling strength is considered. Its upper bound is found from the present experimental data. The assumption about the finite asymptotical value of the coupling strength leads to the energy scale where…

We present a new extraction of the effective strong coupling constant \alpha_{s,g_1}(Q^2). The result agrees with a previous determination and extends the measurement of the low and high Q^2 behavior of \alpha_{s,g_1}(Q^2) that was…
In this paper we fix our attention, on hadron structure, and show that also the strong interaction strength alpha_S, ordinarily called the "(perturbative) coupling--constant square}", can be evaluated within our theory, and found to…
I review and compare various techniques to obtain the value of the QED coupling, alpha, at the Z pole. GigaZ precisions would require a much more accurate determination than available today. A combination of the virtues of current methods…
