Relativistic many-body methods at different levels of approximations are employed to gain insights into the passage of the electron correlations from lower to higher levels in the accurate determination of the electric dipole polarizability…
Concepts and results of determinations of the strong coupling constant in hadron collisions are discussed. A recent alpha_s result from the inclusive jet cross section in pp-bar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV is presented which is based on…
We have performed a new evaluation of the hadronic contribution to $a_{\mu}=(g-2)/2$ of the muon with explicit correlations of systematic errors among the experimental data on $\sigma( e^+e^- \to hadrons )$. Our result for the lowest order…
The C-parameter event-shape distribution for e+e- annihilation into hadrons is computed in the framework of SCET including input from fixed-order perturbation theory. We calculate all missing ingredients for achieving N3LL resummation…
The semihadronic tau decay width allows a clean extraction of the strong coupling constant at low energies. We present a modification of the standard "contour improved" method based on a derivative expansion of the Adler function. The…
We present a state-of-the-art analysis on determining the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ from available $e^+e^-$ data for the Heavy Jet Mass (HJM) distribution. Dijet resummation is supplemented with additional resummation of…
We propose a modified procedure for extracting the numerical value for the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ from the $\tau$ lepton hadronic decay rate into non-strange particles in the vector channel. We employ the concept of the…
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…
The measurement of the eta_b mass, together with a QCD result for the hyperfine splitting E_{HFS}=M_{Upsilon(1S)}-M_{eta_b}, allows us to determine the strong coupling constant alpha_s at a low energy scale. The result…
The current status of measurements of the strong coupling constant from different reactions is reviewed. Including new results presented at the 1996 ICHEP conference, a global average alpha_s(Mz) = 0.118 +- 0.003 is obtained.
We reanalyze deep inelastic scattering data of BCDMS Collaboration by including proper cuts of ranges with large systematic errors. We perform also the fits of high statistic deep inelastic scattering data of BCDMS, SLAC, NM and BFP…
We reconsider the Dirac-Foldy contribution $\mu^2/m$ to the neutron electric polarizability. Using a Dirac equation approach to neutron-nucleus scattering, we review the definitions of Compton continuum ($\bar{\alpha}$), classical static…
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 calculate the electromagnetic corrections to the isospin invariant mixing angle and to the two eigenphases for the s and p-waves for low energy pi-p elastic and charge exchange scattering. These corrections have to be applied to the…
We describe the determination of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(M_Z^2)$ and of the charm-quark mass $m_c(m_c)$ in the $\bar{\rm MS}$-scheme, based on the QCD analysis of the unpolarized World deep-inelastic scattering data. At NNLO…
We have applied Pade approximants to perturbative QCD calculations of event shape observables in e+e- --> hadrons. We used the exact O(alpha_s^2) prediction and the [0/1] Pade approximant to estimate the O(alpha_s^3) term for 15…
Nonperturbative QCD corrections are important to many low-energy electroweak observables, for example the muon magnetic moment. However, hadronic corrections also play a significant role at much higher energies due to their impact on the…
Motivated by recent progress of theory and experiment on the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, a_e, we update the hadronic contributions to a_e. Using our up-to-date compilation of e^+ e^- \to hadrons data, we find the leading…
Important $E2$ contributions to the $(e,e^{\prime})$ cross sections of low-lying orbital $M1$ excitations are found in heavy deformed nuclei, arising from the small energy separation between the two excitations with $I^{\pi}K = 2^+1$ and…
We derive a closed, model independent, expression for the electromagnetic correction factor to a phenomenological hadronic scattering length extracted from a hydrogenic atom. It is obtained in a non-relativistic approach and in the limit of…
