The AlphaStrong class calculates the alpha_strong value at an arbitrary scale, given the value at m_Z, to first, second or third order.
| double alphaS | ( | double | scale2 | ) |
alpha_S value and Lambda values.
Calculate alpha_s value.
Check for initialization and ensure minimal scale2 value.
If equal to old scale then same answer.
Fix alpha_s.
First order alpha_s: differs by mass region.
Second order alpha_s: differs by mass region.
Done.
| double alphaS1Ord | ( | double | scale2 | ) |
Calculate alpha_s value, but only use up to first-order piece. (To be combined with alphaS2OrdCorr.)
Check for initialization and ensure minimal scale2 value.
If equal to old scale then same answer.
Fix alpha_S.
First/second/third order alpha_s: differs by mass region.
Done.
| double alphaS2OrdCorr | ( | double | scale2 | ) |
Calculates the second- or third-order extra factor in alpha_s. (To be combined with alphaS1Ord.)
Check for initialization and ensure minimal scale2 value.
Only meaningful for second-order calculations.
Second order correction term: differs by mass region.
| double facCMW | ( | int | nFin | ) |
Return the CMW factor (for nF between 3 and 6).
facCMW: tells what values of the CMW factors are being used (if any).
Return unity if we are not doing CMW rescaling..
Else return the NF-dependent value of the CMW rescaling factor.

Initialization for given value at M_Z and given order.
Initialize alpha_strong calculation by finding Lambda values etc.
Set default mass thresholds if not already done
Order of alpha_s evaluation.Default values.
Fix alpha_s.
First order alpha_s: match at flavour thresholds.
Second or third order alpha_s: iterative match at flavour thresholds.
The two-loop coefficients: b1 / b0^2
The three-loop coefficients: b2 * b0 / b1^2
Find Lambda_5 at m_Z, starting from one-loop value.
Find Lambda_6 at m_t, by requiring alphaS(nF=6,m_t) = alphaS(nF=5,m_t)
Find Lambda_4 at m_b, by requiring alphaS(nF=4,m_b) = alphaS(nF=5,m_b)
Find Lambda_3 at m_c, by requiring alphaS(nF=3,m_c) = alphaS(nF=4,m_c)
Optionally rescale Lambda values by CMW factor.
Impose SAFETYMARGINs to prevent getting too close to LambdaQCD.
Save squares of mass and Lambda values as well.
| double muThres | ( | int | idQ | ) |
Info: tell which scales we use for flavour thresholds.
muThres(2): tell what values of flavour thresholds are being used.
Return the scale of each flavour threshold included in running.
Else return -1 (indicates no such threshold is included in running).
| double muThres2 | ( | int | idQ | ) |
Return the scale of each flavour threshold included in running.
Else return -1 (indicates no such threshold is included in running).

Safety margins to avoid getting too close to LambdaQCD.
Always evaluate running alpha_s above Lambda3 to avoid disaster. Safety margin picked to freeze roughly for alpha_s = 10.
