Combined fits of KEDR and BESIII R(s) data yield alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.1179, 0.1221, and 0.1312 at NLO, NNLO, and NNNLO, demonstrating strong dependence on perturbative truncation order.

abstract
We present in analytic form the matching conditions for the strong-coupling constant alpha_s^(n_f)(mu) at the flavor thresholds to four loops in the modified minimal-subtraction scheme. Taking into account the present knowledge on the coefficient beta_4 of the Callan-Symanzik beta function of quantum chromo-dynamics, we thus derive a five-loop formula for alpha_s^(n_f)(mu) together with appropriate relationships between the asymptotic scale parameters Lambda^(n_f) for different numbers of flavors n_f.

Perturbative QCD fitting of KEDR and BESIII $e^+e^-$ data for R(s) and $\alpha_s$ determination
Combined fits of KEDR and BESIII R(s) data yield alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.1179, 0.1221, and 0.1312 at NLO, NNLO, and NNNLO, demonstrating strong dependence on perturbative truncation order.
