In the determination of alpha_s from tau decays several different moments of the hadronic spectral functions have been used. In a recent work, we performed an analysis of their perturbative behaviour under two different assumptions for the…
In the extraction of $\alpha_s$ from hadronic tau decay data several moments of the spectral functions have been employed. Furthermore, different renormalization group improvement (RGI) frameworks have been advocated, leading to conflicting…
The moments of the hadronic spectral functions are of interest for the extraction of the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ and other QCD parameters from the hadronic decays of the $\tau$ lepton. Motivated by the recent analyses of a large class of…
The determination of $\alpha_s$ from hadronic $\tau$ decays is revisited, with a special emphasis on the question of higher-order perturbative corrections and different possibilities of resumming the perturbative series with the…
The determination of alpha_s from hadronic tau decays is impeded by the fact that two choices for the renormalisation group resummation, namely fixed-order (FOPT) and contour-improved perturbation theory (CIPT), yield systematically…
The tau hadronic width provides a determination of the strong coupling constant alpha_s at low energies, since it can be related to a weighted integral of the Adler function in the complex energy plane. Using Operator Product Expansion, one…
Hadronic tau decays offer the possibility of determining the strong coupling alpha_s at relatively low energy. Precisely for this reason, however, good control over the perturbative QCD corrections, the non-perturbative condensate…
The hadronic decay rate of the tau lepton serves as one of the most precise determinations of the QCD coupling alpha_s. The dominant theoretical source of uncertainty at present resides in the seeming disparity of two approaches to…
We analyze tau lepton decay observables, namely moments of the hadronic spectral density in the finite energy interval (0,M_\tau), within finite order perturbation theory including \alpha_s^4 corrections. The start of asymptotic growth of…
One of the main sources of theoretical uncertainty in the extraction of the strong coupling from hadronic tau decays stems from the renormalization-group improvement of the series. Perturbative series in QCD are divergent but are (most…
We revisit the extraction of $\alpha_s(M_\tau^2)$ from the QCDperturbative corrections to the hadronic $\tau$ branching ratio, using an improved fixed-order perturbation theory based on the explicit summation of all renormalization-group…
Different choices exist for the renormalisation group resummation in the determination of $\alpha_s$ from hadronic $\tau$ decays: namely fixed-order (FOPT) and contour-improved perturbation theory (CIPT). The two approaches lead to…
Starting from the divergent character of the perturbative expansions in QCD and using the technique of series acceleration by the conformal mappings of the Borel plane, I define a novel, non-power perturbative expansion for the Adler…
We discuss the choice of weight functions for the moments of the spectral density for two-point correlators of hadronic currents over a finite energy interval. Of phenomenological relevance is an analysis of the spectra of tau lepton decay…
Being a determination at low energies, the analysis of hadronic tau decay data provides a rather precise determination of the strong coupling alpha_s after evolving the result to M_Z. At such a level of precision, even small…
The calculation of perturbative corrections to the spectral moments observable in hadronic $\tau$ decays is reconsidered. The exact order-$\alpha_s^3$ results and the resummation procedure of Le~Diberder and Pich are compared with a partial…
We show that the Borel representations of tau hadronic spectral function moments based on contour-improved perturbation theory (CIPT) in general differ from those obtained within fixed-order perturbation theory (FOPT) in the presence of IR…
We extract the strong coupling $\alpha_s(m_\tau^2)$ from the recently updated ALEPH non-strange spectral functions obtained from hadronic $\tau$ decays. We apply a self-consistent analysis method, first tested in the analysis of OPAL data,…
We present an update of the measurement of alpha_s(m_tau) from ALEPH tau hadronic spectral functions. We report a study of the perturbative prediction(s) showing that the fixed-order perturbation theory manifests convergence problems not…
An updated measurement of alpha_s(m_tau) from ALEPH tau hadronic spectral functions is presented. We report a study of the perturbative prediction(s) showing that the fixed-order perturbation theory manifests convergence or principle…
