We present a review of measurements of alpha_S. The individual measurements are discussed and intermediate averages for classes of related measurements are found. The final average is built using the intermediate values. Correlations are…
Determinations of the strong coupling strength, $\alpha_s$, are summarised and a new world average value of $\alpha_s (M_Z)$ is determined, using a new method of pre-averaging results within classes of measurements like hadronic $\tau$…
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…
Recent determinations of alphas(Mz) from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations using inclusive-jet cross-section measurements in neutral current deep inelastic scattering at high Q2 are presented. A combined value of alphas(mz)=0.1198 +- 0.0019…
We report the current status of Delta-md measurements at B-factories. The most recent world average is Delta-md = 0.502+-0.007 1/ps (1.4% accuracy). An estimate of the errors for 500 1/fb data is also given.
The current world-average of the strong coupling at the Z pole mass, $\alpha_s(m^2_{Z}) = 0.1181 \pm 0.0013$, is obtained from a comparison of perturbative QCD calculations computed, at least, at next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy, to a…
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 value of $\alpha_s (M_Z)$ emerging from the so called global fits based mainly on the data at the $Z$ peak (and assuming the standard model) is three standard deviations higher than the one stemming from the low-energy phenomenology.…
Recent \alphas determinations from jet production at HERA are presented. Three different observables lead to consistent alpha values. The result is consistent with the world average and has an error of about 0.006. This is quite a…
Significant progress toward measuring the CKM angle alpha has been made by the B-factories over the past decade. This work has culminated in a constraint on alpha with a precision of less than 4 degrees.
Re-analysed JADE data were used to determine alpha_S at sqrt{s} = 14-44 GeV on the basis of resummed calculations for event shapes and hadronisation models tuned to LEP data. The combined result is alpha_S(M_Z) = 0.1194 +/- 0.0082/0.0068…
The precision measurements of the strong coupling constant, alphas, and its energy-scale dependence carried out at HERA by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations are reviewed. An average value of alphas(Mz) = 0.1186 +- 0.0011 (exp.) +- 0.0050 (th.)…
Precise radial velocity measurements (delta v/c ~ 10^{-7}) of FeII lines in damped Ly-alpha systems from very high quality VLT/UVES spectra of quasars HE0515-4414 and Q1101-264 are used to probe cosmological time dependence of the fine…
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,…
A survey is presented of recent measurements in jet physics, and improved determinations of the QCD coupling constant alpha_s that these have made possible.
The latest experimental and theoretical developments in the high-precision determination of the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ are briefly reviewed. Six groups of observables: (i) lattice QCD data, (ii) hadronic $\tau$ decays, (iii)…
The prospects for the measurement of the strong coupling constant alpha_msbar(M_Z) to a relative uncertainty of 1% are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the implications relating to future High Energy Physics facilities.
Measurements of alpha_s from e+e- annihilation experiments are reviewed and compared with measurements from other processes. Highlights are presented of recent QCD studies in e+e- annihilation at the Z0 resonance.
We determine the strong coupling alpha_s at NNLO in perturbative QCD using the global dataset input to the NNPDF2.1 NNLO parton fit: data from neutral and charged current deep-inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan, vector boson production and…
A review is given on recent alpha(s) determinations from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations. These are based on measurements of jet cross sections, event shape variables, as well as on the observed scaling violation of the structure function…
