Open AccessNovel method to reliably determine the QCD coupling from Ruds measurements and its effects to muon g − 2 and \( \alpha \left({M}_Z^2\right) \) within the tau-charm energy region
We present a novel method for precisely determining the QCD running coupling from Ruds measurements in electron-positron annihilation. When calculating the fixed-order perturbative QCD (pQCD) approximant of Ruds,...
