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 review the determination of the QED coupling at the Z pole, which is a crucial parameter for electroweak theory. We include recent e+e- -> hadron data from Novosibirsk and Beijing to re-evaluate alpha (M_Z^2). We find 1/alpha (M_Z^2) =…
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 use the available data on e+ e- -> hadrons to determine the value of the QED coupling at the Z pole. The inclusion of recent preliminary BES-II data in the analysis is found to reduce the ambiguity in the determination of the coupling,…
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,…
An update is described of a model independent method to determine the hadronic contribution to the QED running coupling at the Z-boson mass scale, $\Delta\alpha_{\text{HAD}}(M_{Z}^{2})$. The major source of uncertainty is from the…
We calculate (g-2) of the muon and the QED coupling alpha(M_Z^2), by improving the determination of the hadronic vacuum polarization contributions and their uncertainties. We include the recently re-analysed CMD-2 data on e^+e^- -> pi^+…
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…
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…
I review and compare various techniques to obtain the value of the QED coupling, alpha, at the Z pole. GigaZ precisions would require a much more accurate determination than available today. A combination of the virtues of current methods…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
To obtain the value of electromagnetic coupling constant at $q^2=m^2_Z$, $\bar{\alpha}$, which plays a key role in electroweak physics one has to integrate the cross-section of $e^+e^-$-annihilation into hadrons divided by $(s-m^2_Z)$ over…
The standard determination of the QED coupling on the Z pole is performed using the latest available data for R. The direct application of analytic continuation techniques is found not to improve the accuracy of the value of \alpha(M_Z^2).…
Recent improvements in the low energy e+e- annihilation data and their influence on the determination of the hadronic contribution to the running of the QED fine structure constant at m_Z are discussed. Using CMD-2 and KLOE measurements in…
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…
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…
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…
