Abstract

We determine the strong coupling constant $α_s$ from a lattice calculation of vacuum polarization functions (VPF) in three-flavor QCD with dynamical overlap fermions. Fitting lattice data of VPF to the continuum perturbative formula including the operator product expansion, we extract the QCD scale parameter $Λ_overlineMS^(3)$. At the $Z$ boson mass scale, we obtain $α_s^(5)(M_Z)=0.1181(3)(^+14_-12)$, where the first error is statistical and the second is our estimate of various systematic uncertainties.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
