We discuss the determination of the strong coupling $\alpha_\mathrm{\overline{MS}}^{}(m_\mathrm{Z})$ or equivalently the QCD $\Lambda$-parameter. Its determination requires the use of perturbation theory in $\alpha_s(\mu)$ in some scheme,…
We present results by the ALPHA collaboration for the $\Lambda$-parameter in 3-flavour QCD and the strong coupling constant at the electroweak scale, $\alpha_s(m_Z)$, in terms of hadronic quantities computed on the CLS gauge configurations.…
We present the details and first results of a new strategy for the determination of $\alpha_s(m_Z)$. By simultaneously decoupling 3 fictitious heavy quarks we establish a relation between the $\Lambda$-parameters of three-flavor QCD and…
We compare lattice data for the short-distance part of the static energy in 2+1 flavor quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with perturbative calculations, up to next-to-next-to-next-to leading-logarithmic accuracy. We show that perturbation theory…
We present a determination of the QCD coupling constant, $\alpha_s$, obtained by fitting lattice results for the flavour $ud$ hadronic vacuum polarisation function to continuum perturbation theory. We use $n_f=2+1$ flavours of Domain Wall…
We present a lattice determination of the $\Lambda$ parameter in three-flavor QCD and the strong coupling at the Z pole mass. Computing the nonperturbative running of the coupling in the range from $0.2\,$GeV to $70\,$GeV, and using…
We present an overview of the recent lattice determination of the QCD coupling $\alpha_s$ by the ALPHA Collaboration. The computation is based on the non-perturbative determination of the $\Lambda$-parameter of $N_{\rm f}=3$ QCD, and the…
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…
The ALPHA collaboration aims to determine $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ with a total error below the percent level. A further step towards this goal can be taken by combining results from the recent simulations of 2+1-flavour QCD by the CLS initiative…
Precision tests of QCD perturbation theory are not readily available from experimental data. The main reasons are systematic uncertainties due to the confinement of quarks and gluons, as well as kinematical constraints which limit the…
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…
Comparing perturbative calculations with a lattice computation of the static energy in quantum chromodynamics at short distances, we obtain a determination of the strong coupling alpha_s. Our determination is performed at a scale of around…
We obtain a new value for the QCD coupling constant by combining lattice QCD simulations with experimental data for hadron masses. Our lattice analysis is the first to: 1) include vacuum polarization effects from all three light-quark…
We present a non-perturbative computation of the running of the coupling alpha_s in QCD with two flavours of dynamical fermions in the Schroedinger functional scheme. We improve our previous results by a reliable continuum extrapolation.…
An evaluation of the effective QED coupling at the scale M_Z is presented. It employs the predictions of perturbative QCD for the cross section of electron positron annihilation into hadrons up to order \alpha_s^2, including the full quark…
In this Letter, we provide a determination of the coupling constant in three-flavor quantum chromodynamics (QCD), $\alpha^{\overline{\mathrm{MS}}}_s(\mu)$, for $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ renormalization scales $\mu \in (1,\,2)$ GeV. The…
I calculate the QED coupling, alpha, directly in the MS-bar scheme using an unsubtracted dispersion relation for the three light quarks, and perturbative QCD for charm and bottom quarks. Compact analytical expressions are presented, making…
The present knowledge on the strong coupling is briefly summarized. The most precise determinations of alpha_s, at different energies, are reviewed and compared at the Z mass scale, using the predicted QCD running. The impressive agreement…
The strong coupling, $\alpha_s$, governs perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and is one of the free parameters of the Standard Model. We introduce a new method that allows a precise extraction of $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ from dimensionless…
We describe the first lattice determination of the strong coupling constant with 3 flavors of dynamical quarks. The method follows previous analyses in using a perturbative expansion for the plaquette and Upsilon spectroscopy to set the…
