The strong coupling from ALEPH tau decays

Rodríguez Sánchez, Antonio LU (2017) In Nuclear and Particle Physics Proceedings 282-284. p.144-148
Abstract

The strong coupling from ALEPH tau decays. We use the publically available non-strange spectral function from ALEPH tau decays to critically analyze the different determinations of αs(mτ2) that can be found in the literature and the numerical impact of their possible weaknesses. We also introduce some novel approaches. We find that perturbative uncertainties dominate. Our results with different approaches are very stable. Our final value is αs(mτ2)=0.328±0.013.
