The discrepancy between the FOPT and CIPT approaches for hadronic $\tau$ spectral function moments constitutes the major theoretical uncertainty for strong coupling determinations from tau decay data. We show the discrepancy can be…
The talk covers three contributions on (i) the final measurement of branching ratios and spectral functions of t decays using the full LEP-I data from ALEPH, (ii) a preliminary measurement of the t hadronic branching ratios from DELPHI and…
This paper describes the trigger and offline reconstruction, identification and energy calibration algorithms for hadronic decays of tau leptons employed for the data collected from $pp$ collisions in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC…
This final analysis of hadronic and leptonic cross-sections and of leptonic forward-backward asymmetries in e+e- collisions with the OPAL detector makes use of the full LEP1 data sample comprising 161 pb^-1 of integrated luminosity and 4.5…
New finite energy sum rules (FESR's) for extracting m_s from hadronic tau decay data are constructed which (1) significantly reduce potential theoretical uncertainties present in existing sum rule analyses and (2) remove problems associated…
The first complete calculation of the quadratic quark mass correction to the correlator of the two currents relevant for the strangeness-changing semihadronic tau-decay rate is presented including its real part at the four-loop level. This…
We present two new extractions of the QCD coupling constant at the Z pole, $\alpha_S(m_Z)$, from detailed comparisons of inclusive W and Z hadronic decays data to state-of-the-art perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics calculations at…
The most general Lorentz invariant spin-correlation functions for $\tau ^{-}\rightarrow \rho ^{-}\nu ,a_1^{-}\nu ,K^{*-}\nu , \pi ^{-}\nu ,K^{-}\nu $ are expressed in terms of eight semi-leptonic parameters. They are physically defined in…
The pure leptonic or semileptonic character of tau decays makes them a good laboratory to test the structure of the weak currents and the universality of their couplings to the gauge bosons. The hadronic tau decay modes constitute an ideal…
The (non-strange) vector and axial-vector spectral functions extracted from $\tau $-decay by the ALEPH collaboration are confronted with QCD in the framework of a Finite Energy QCD sum rule (FESR) involving a polynomial kernel tuned to…
Using the updated ALEPH V-A spectral function from tau decays, we determine the lowest spectral moments of the left-right correlator and extract dynamical information on order parameters of the QCD chiral symmetry breaking. Uncertainties…
Hadronic event shape distributions are determined from data in e+e- collisions between 183 and 207 GeV. From these the strong coupling alpha_s is extracted in O(alpha_s^2), NLLA and matched O(alpha_s^2)+NLLA theory. Hadronisation…
Details are provided how GAPP evaluates the strong coupling constant from Z and tau decays and the corresponding uncertainties.
The strong coupling constant ($\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…
This talk summarizes the results of a phenomenological analysis of heavy quark fragmentation data published by the CLEO and BELLE collaborations at \sqrt{s} = 10.6 GeV and by the LEP collaborations at \sqrt{s} = 91.2 GeV. Several…
Employing the heavy quark expansion model with the kinetic scheme, we evaluate $\alpha_S(m_c^2)$, the strong coupling constant at the charm quark mass $m_c$ with data on inclusive semileptonic decays of charmed mesons. Using the…
We present an explicit demonstration that a determination of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ from deep-inelastic scattering and hadron collider data without a simultaneous determination of the parton distribution functions…
Motivated by recent experimental advances in the corresponding measurements, non-leptonic hyperon decays are calculated, for the first time in a relativistic manner, in Chiral Perturbation Theory at next-to-leading order (NLO). On the one…
Tau decays into hadrons foresee the study of the hadronization of vector and axial-vector QCD currents, yielding relevant information on the dynamics of the resonances entering into the processes. We analyse tau -> (3 pion) nu_tau decays…
The reconstruction of tau-pair production, $e^{+}e^{-} \to \tau^{+}\tau^{-}$, from the subsequent 3-prong ($\tau^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+} \pi^{-} \pi^{+} \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$) and 1-prong ($\tau^{-} \to \ell^{-} \bar{\nu}_{\ell} \nu_{\tau}$,…
