The Determination of the Strong Coupling Constant
نویسنده
چکیده
The strong coupling constant is one of the fundamental parameters of the Standard Theory of particle physics. In this review I will briefly summarise the theoretical framework, within which the strong coupling constant is defined and how it is connected to measurable observables. Then I will give an historical overview of its experimental determinations and discuss the current status and world average value. Among the many different techniques used to determine this coupling constant in the context of quantum chromodynamics, I will focus in particular on a number of measurements carried out at the Large Electron–Positron Collider (LEP) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.

DFT Application to the Analysis of Quadrupole Coupling Constant of Aluminum Methyl Chloride Dimers
The analysis of the 27Al and 35Cl quadrupole coupling parameters of aluminum methyl chloride dimers were carried out on the basis of the density functional theory (DFT). The available experimental values of quarupole coupling constants were compared with their calculated ones. In this investigation, the correlations were made between calculated 27Al and 35Cl nuclear quadrupole coupling constant...

We use a nonperturbative method based on quantum averaging and an adapted from of resonant transformations to treat the resonances of the Hamiltonian of a two-level atom interacting with a one-mode classical field in Floquet formalism. We illustrate this method by extraction of effective Hamiltonians of the system in two regimes of weak and strong coupling. The results obtained in the strong-...

Objective: Brachytherapy sources are widely used for the treatment of cancer. The report of Task Group No. 43 (TG-43) of American Association of Physicists in Medicine is known as the most common method for the determination of dosimetric parameters for brachytherapy sources. The aim of this study is to obtain TG-43 dosimetric parameters for 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir and 103Pd brachyt...
