Abstract:We present the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD analysis of the Gross-Llewellyn Smith (GLS) sum rule in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering, taking into account dimensiontwo, twist-four power correction. We discuss in detail the renormalization scheme dependence of the perturbative QCD approximations, propose a procedure for an approximate treatment of the quark mass threshold effects and compare the results of our analysis to the recent experimental data of the CCFR collaboration. From this comparison w… Show more
“…Their central value is α s (3 GeV 2 ) = 0.278 [14] 13 and α s (M 2 Z ) = 0.114, thus slightly lower than that of Ref. [46], and significantly lower than our central value predictions (39) and (41). The principal reason for this difference shall be discussed in the following section.…”

“…Resummations of the GLS sum rule based on this method were theoretically and numerically investigated in 1992 by the authors of Ref. [46]. They were confronting the TPS results with the measured values, paying particular attention to the RScl-and RSch-dependence of the predicted values of α s (M 2 Z ; MS).…”

Using the CCFR data for the Gross-Llewellyn Smith (GLS) sum rule, we extract the strong coupling constant via Borel resummation of the perturbative QCD calculation. The method incorporates the correct nature of the first infrared renormalon singularity, and employs a conformal mapping to improve the convergence of the QCD perturbation expansion. The important twist-four contribution is calculated from resummation of the perturbation theory, which is based on the ansatz that the higher-twist contribution has a cut singularity only along the positive real axis on the complex coupling plane. Thus obtained, the strong coupling constant corresponding to the central GLS experimental value is in good agreement with the world average.

“…The optimistic scheme-dependence error in the NNLO result of Ref. [34] is reflecting the uncertainty due to the unknown effects of the higher N 3 LO perturbative QCD corrections, estimated later on in the works of Ref. [38].…”
Section: In Ref[3] the Final Results For The Parameter λ (4) M Smentioning
We present the results of the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD analysis of the recently revised experimental data of the CCFR collaboration for the xF 3 structure function using the Jacobi polynomial expansion method. The effects of the higher twist contributions are included into the fits following the infrared renormalon motivated model. The special attention is paid to the checks of the predictive abilities of the infrared renormalon model and to the independent extractions of the x-dependent shape of the twist-4 contributions to the xF 3 structure function in the process of the leading order, next-to-leading order and next-to-next-to-leading order fits of the revised CCFR data. We stress that at the next-to-next-to-leading order the results for α s (M Z ) turn out to be almost nonsensitive to the higher-twist terms. We obtain the following result α N N LO s (M Z ) = 0.117±0.002(stat)± 0.005(syst) ± 0.003(theory). The comparison of the outcomes of our next-to-leading order and next-to-next-to-leading order analysis indicate that the theoretical QCD uncertainties were underestimated in the process of the next-to-leading order determination of α s (M Z ), made recently by the CCFR collaboration itself.Presented in part at the QCD session of Recontres des Moriond-97 (March, 1997).
“…where the higher-twist contribution ∆HT is estimated to be (0.09 ± 0.045)/Q 2 in [29] [32] and to be somewhat smaller by [33]. The CCFR collaboration [34], combines their data with that from other experiments [35] and gives α s ( √ 3 GeV) = 0.28 ± 0.035 (expt.)…”
Section: Determination Of α S From Deep Inelastic Scat-teringmentioning
This paper presents a summary of the current status of determinations of the strong coupling constant αs. A detailed description of the definition, scale dependence and inherent theoretical ambiguities is given. The various physical processes that can be used to determine αs are reviewed and attention is given to the uncertainties, both theoretical and experimental.
