We introduce a model independent method for the determination of the hadronic contribution to the QED running coupling, $\Delta\alpha_{\text{HAD}}(M_{Z}^{2})$, requiring no $e^+e^-$ annihilation data as input. This is achieved by…
We critically examine the evaluation of the hadronic contribution to the running of the QED coupling, $\alpha$, from $Q^2=0$ to $Q^2=M_Z^2$. Using data for $e^+e^-\to{}$hadrons we find that $\alpha(M_Z^2)^{-1} = 128.99\pm 0.06$, as compared…
We compute a theoretically driven prediction for the hadronic contribution to the electromagnetic running coupling at the $Z$ scale using lattice QCD and state-of-the-art perturbative QCD. We…
The electromagnetic coupling constant, $\alpha$, is one of the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model (SM). Its value at the Z boson mass, $\alpha(M_Z)$, is of particular interest as it enters electroweak precision tests. When running…
We perform a new, detailed calculation of the hadronic contributions to the running electromagnetic coupling, $\bar{\alpha}$, defined on the Z particle (91 GeV). We find for the hadronic contribution, including radiative corrections,…
We reevaluate the dispersion integrals of the leading order hadronic contributions to the running of the QED fine structure constant alpha(s) at s=M_Z^2, and to the anomalous magnetic moments of the muon and the electron. Finite-energy QCD…
As present and future experiments, on both the energy and precision frontiers, look to identify new physics beyond the Standard Model, we require more precise determinations of fundamental quantities, like the QED and electroweak couplings…
A QCD model with an infinite number of vector mesons suggested by one of the authors is used to derive the value of the correction $\delta\alpha_{hadr}$ for $\alpha(m_{Z}^{2})$ due to the strong interactions. The result is…
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…
The hadronic vacuum-polarization contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment a_{mu}(hadr) and to the value of the eleectromagnetic coupling constant at q^2 = M^2_z are determined more precisely in connection with a new more exact…
The electromagnetic coupling receives significant contributions to its running from non-perturbative QCD effects. We present an update of a lattice QCD study of the Adler function and of its application to the determination of the running…
This talk summarizes the recent development in the evaluation of the leading order hadronic contributions to the running of the QED fine structure constant \alpha(s), at $s=M_{\rm Z}^2$, and to the anomalous magnetic moments of the muon…
The quark-connected leading-order hadronic contributions to the running of the electromagnetic fine structure constant, $\alpha_{\rm QED}$, and the weak mixing angle, $\theta_W$, are determined by a four-flavour lattice QCD computation with…
The contribution from hadronic vacuum polarisation effects is responsible for a large fraction of the theoretical uncertainty in the running of the QED coupling. The current level of uncertainty has become a limitation for electroweak…
We present a new independent evaluation of the hadronic and QCD contributions to the QED running coupling \alpha(M_Z) and to the muonium hyperfine splitting \nu. We obtain: \Delta\alpha_{had}=2770(17)10^{-5} and \Delta\nu_{had}=232.5(2.5)…
We reevaluate the hadronic contribution to the running of the QED fine structure constant alpha(s) at s = M_Z^2. We use data from e+e- annihilation and tau decays at low energy and at the qq-bar thresholds, where resonances occur. Using…
This talk summarizes the recent developments in the evaluation of the leading order hadronic contributions to the running of the QED fine structure constant $\alpha(s)$, at $s=M_{\rm Z}^2$, and to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon…
We recalculate the hadronic contribution to the effective electromagnetic coupling constant $\alpha(M^2_Z)$ using quasi-analytical approximations for the cross-section of $e^{+}e^{-} \to hadrons$ proposed earlier by one of the…
We present preliminary results from a lattice-QCD study of the hadronic contributions to the running of the electromagnetic coupling, $\Delta\alpha(Q^2)$, and the electroweak mixing angle, $\Delta\sin^2\theta_{W}(Q^2)$. Using $N_f = 2+1+1$…
The energy dependency (running) of the strength of electromagnetic interactions $\alpha$ plays an important role in precision tests of the Standard Model. The running of the former to the $Z$ pole is an input quantity for global electroweak…
