The QCD coupling alpha_s is determined at NLO*+NMLLA accuracy from the comparison of experimental jet data to theoretical predictions of the energy-evolution of the parton-to-hadron fragmentation function moments (multiplicity, peak, width,…
One of the most precise measurements of the strong coupling constant alpha_s(MZ) is obtained in the context of global analyses of precision electroweak data. This article reviews the sensitivity of different electroweak observables to…
The current phenomenological determinations of $\alpha_s(M_\tau)$ and $\alpha_s(M_Z)$ are shown to be only marginally consistent with the QCD evolution of the strong coupling constant between $M_Z$ and $M_\tau$. This motivates a revised…
We review the status of precision electroweak physics with particular emphasis on the extraction of the Higgs boson mass. Global fit results depend strongly on the used value for the hadronic contribution to alpha(M_Z). We emphasize,…
The results of a recent next-to-leading order QCD analysis of the world data on polarized deep inelastic scattering are reported. New parameterizations are derived for the quark and gluon distributions and the value of $\alpha_s(M_z^2)$ is…
The determination of alpha_s(M_Z) via perturbative analyses of short-distance-sensitive lattice observables is revisited, incorporating new lattice data and performing a modified version of the original analysis. The analysis employs two…
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…
Event shape data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment between sqrt(s)=14 and 44 GeV are used to determine the strong coupling alpha_S. QCD predictionscomplete to next-to-next-to-leading order (NLLO),…
We present a determination of the strong coupling $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ from a global dataset including both fixed-target and collider data from deep-inelastic scattering and a variety of hadronic processes, with a simultaneous determination of…
The QCD coupling alpha_s is determined from a combined analysis of experimental e+e- and e-p jet data confronted to theoretical predictions of the energy evolution of the parton-to-hadron fragmentation functions (FFs) moments…
The inclusive cross sections of W$^+$, W$^-$, and Z boson production from 34 different measurements performed in proton-(anti)proton collisions at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.8--13 TeV, are compared to perturbative QCD…
The high hadronic event statistics collected at the Z energy (LEP I) allowed a good understanding of the QCD dynamics. The coupling constant $\alpha_s$ has been measured with several methods giving a global average $\alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.122…
The strong coupling alpha_s is a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model. In comparison to parameters like alpha_em and M_Z it is relatively poorly known. However the precision of alpha_s measurements has improved dramatically in recent…
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…
This note complements and clarifies the results obtained in the original paper {\it QCD Parameters Correlations from Heavy Quarkonia} [1] where, here, we present a more detailed discussion of the \alpha_s-results obtained @ N2LO at two…
Using recently developed methods for the evaluation of five-loop amplitudes in perturbative QCD, corrections of order alpha_s^4 for the cross section of electron-positron annihilation into hadrons and for the decay rates of the Z-boson and…
We review the determination of the strong coupling alpha_s from the comparison of the perturbative expression for the Quantum Chromodynamics static energy with lattice data. We collect here all the perturbative expressions needed to…
Hadronic event shape distributions from e+e- annihilation measured by the OPAL experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 91 GeV and 209 GeV are used to determine the strong coupling {\alpha}S. The results are based on QCD predictions…
We present a determination of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ using inclusive top-quark pair production cross section measurements performed at the LHC and at the Tevatron. Following a procedure first applied by the CMS…
We point out that an apparent discrepancy between the values of $\alpha_s(M_z)$ as determined from low versus high energy experiments can be explained if an electrically neutral coloured fermion exists which slows down the running of the…
