Alphaₛ Determination from Tau Decays: Theoretical Status

Pich, Antonio

Original · EN

The total tau hadronic width can be accurately calculated using analyticity and the operator product expansion. The result turns out to be very sensitive to the value of alphaₛ(mₜau²), providing a precise determination of the strong coupling constant. The theoretical description of this observable is updated, including the recently computed O(alphaₛ⁴) contributions. The experimental determination of alphaₛ(mₜau²) and its actual uncertainties are discussed.
