Determination of the strong coupling constant using available experimental data

We determine the strong coupling constant α s up to 4-loop in perturbative QCD.Testing QCD requires the measurement of α s over ranges of energy scales.In this analysis,the value of α s is determined from the unpolarized structure functions data points by minimizing the χ ^2 function between the theory result and experimental data.Using perturbative QCD calculations from threshold corrections,we obtain α s （M 2 Z ） = 0.1139±0.0020 at N ^3 LO which is in good agreement with the very recently results from the inclusive jet cross section in pp collisions at√ s=1.96 TeV.     

The strong coupling constant: Its theoretical derivation from a geometric approach to hadron structure

Since more than a decade, abi-scale, unified approach to strong and gravitational interactions has been proposed, that uses the geometrical methods of general relativity, and yielded results similar to strong gravity theory's. We fix our attention, in this note, on hadron structure, and show that also the strong interaction strength _S, ordinarily called the (perturbative) coupling-constant square, can be evaluated within our theory, and found to decrease (increase) as the distancer decreases (increases). This yields both the confinement of the hadron constituents (for large values ofr) and their asymptotic freedom (for small values ofr inside the hadron): in qualitative agreement with the experimental evidence. In other words, our approach leads us, on a purely theoretical ground, to a dependence of _S onr which had been previously found only on phenomenological and heuristic grounds. We expect the above agreement to be also quantitative, on the basis of a few checks performed in this paper, and of further work of ours on calculating meson mass spectra.

Determination of the effective strong coupling constant from CLAS spin structure function data

We present a new extraction of the effective strong coupling constant α_s,g1(Q²). The result agrees with a previous determination and extends the measurement of the low and high Q² behavior of α_s,g1(Q²) that was previously deduced from sum rules. In particular, it experimentally verifies the lack of Q²-dependence of α_s,g1(Q²) in the low Q² limit. This fact is necessary for application of the AdS/CFT correspondence to QCD calculations. We provide a parameterization of α_s,g1(Q²) that can equivalently be used to parameterize the Q²-dependence of the generalized Gerasimov–Drell–Hearn and Bjorken sums.     

Optical strong coupling in hybrid metal-graphene metamaterial for terahertz sensing

We propose a terahertz hybrid metamaterial composed of subwavelength metallic slits and graphene plasmonic ribbons for sensing application. This special design can cause the interaction between the plasmon resonances of the metallic slits and graphene ribbons, giving rise to a strong coupling effect and Rabi splitting. Intricate balancing in the strong coupling region can be perturbed by the carrier concentration of graphene, which is subject to the analyte on its surface. Thereby, the detection of analyte can be reflected as a frequency shift of resonance in terahertz transmission spectra. The result shows that this sensor can achieve a theoretical detection limit of 325 electrons or holes per square micrometer. Meanwhile, it also works well as a refractive index sensor with the frequency sensitivity of 485 GHz/RIU. Our results may contribute to design of ultra-micro terahertz sensors.     

Experimental determination of the effective strong coupling constant

We present a first attempt to experimentally extract an effective strong coupling constant that we define to be a low Q²$Q^2$ extension of a previous definition by S. Brodsky et al. following an initial work of G. Grunberg. Using Jefferson Lab data and sum rules, we establish its Q²$Q^2$-behavior over the complete Q²$Q^2$-range. The result is compared to effective coupling constants inferred from different processes and to calculations based on Schwinger–Dyson equations, hadron spectroscopy or lattice QCD. Although the connection between the experimentally extracted effective coupling constants and the calculations is not established it is interesting to note that their behaviors are similar.     

Study of spin sum rules (and the strong coupling constant at large distances)

We present recent results from Jefferson Lab on sum rules related to the spin structure of the nucleon. We then discuss how the Bjorken sum rule with its connection to the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum, allows us to conveniently define an effective coupling for the strong force at all distances.     

Controllable strong coupling between individual spin qubits and a transmission line resonator via nanomechanical resonators

We investigate a hybrid quantum system where an individual electronic spin qubit (EQ) and a transmission line resonator (TLR) are connected by a nanomechanical resonator (NAMR). We analyze the possibility of realizing a strong coupling between the EQ and the TLR. Compared with a direct coupling between an EQ and a TLR, the achieved coupling can be stronger and controllable. The proposal might be used to implement a high-fidelity quantum state transfer between the spin qubit and the TLR, and is scalable to involve several individual EQ-NAMR coupled systems with a TLR.

Multiple ionization of atoms and molecules impacted by very high-q fast projectiles in the strong coupling regime （q/v 〉 1）

In this paper, we present a simple theoretical approach to calculate the multiple ionization of big atoms and molecules induced by very high-q fast projectiles in a strong coupling regime （q/v 〉 1）. The results obtained from this approach are in excellent agreement with the available experimental data. A probable scenario of molecular multiple ionization by fast and very high-q projectiles is discussed. The very small computational time required here and the good agreement with the existing experimental data make it a good candidate for studying the multiple ionization of complex molecules under high linear energy transfers.     

Functions of the nucleon structure and determination of the strong coupling constant

The properties of deep inelastic scattering at high energies, as well as results of fitting of experimental data on structure functions, obtained by BCDMS, SLAC, NMC, and BFP collaborations in fixed target experiments, with the aim of determining the strong coupling constant, the shape of parton distributions, and power corrections to F ₂(x, Q ²), are presented.     

Measurements of the strong coupling constant and the QCD colour factors using four-jet observables from hadronic Z decays

Data from annihilation into hadrons, taken with the ALEPH detector at the Z resonance, are analyzed. The four-jet rate is studied as a function of the resolution parameter and compared to next-to-leading order calculations combined with resummation of large logarithms. Angular correlations in four-jet events are measured and compared to next-to-leading order QCD predictions. With these observables two different measurements are performed. In a first analysis the strong coupling constant is measured from the four-jet rate yielding . In a second measurement the strong coupling constant and the QCD colour factors are determined simultaneously from a fit to the four-jet rate and the four-jet angular correlations, giving in good agreement with the expectation from QCD.

Microcavity plasmonics: strong coupling of photonic cavities and plasmons

The understanding of light‐matter interactions at the nanoscale lays the groundwork for many future technologies, applications and materials. The scope of this article is the investigation of coupled photonic‐plasmonic systems consisting of a combination of photonic microcavities and metallic nanostructures. In such systems, it is possible to observe an exceptionally strong coupling between electromagnetic light modes of a resonator and collective electron oscillations (plasmons) in the metal. Furthermore, the results have shown that coupled photonic‐plasmonic structures possess a considerably higher sensitivity to changes in their environment than conventional localized plasmon sensors due to a plasmon excitation phase shift that depends on the environment.
