Experimental determination of the effective strong coupling constant

Abstract: We present a first attempt to experimentally extract an effective strong coupling constant that we define to be a low Q2 extension of a previous definition by S. Brodsky et al. following an initial work of G. Grunberg. Using Jefferson Lab data and sum rules, we establish its Q2-behavior over the complete Q2-range. The result is compared to effective coupling constants inferred from different processes and to calculations based on Schwinger-Dyson equations, hadron spectroscopy or lattice QCD. Although the conne… Show more

“…To extract the coupling constant, the MS expression of the Bjorken sum rule up to the 5th order in alpha (calculated in the MS scheme) was used. In order to compare with our extraction using the F p 2 observable, the finite value for α s (0) found in [19,20,21] was rescaled in [22] assuming the validity of the commensurate scale relations [21] in the entire range of the scale entering the analysis. The agreement with our analysis which is totally independent, is impressive.…”
