abstract

The QCD effective charge $\alpha_{g_1}(Q)$ is an observable that characterizes the magnitude of the strong interaction. At high momentum $Q$, it coincides with the QCD running coupling $\alpha_{\rm s}(Q)$. At low $Q$, it offers a nonperturbative definition of the running coupling. We have extracted $\alpha_{g_1}(Q)$ from measurements carried out at Jefferson Lab that span the very low to moderately high $Q$ domain, $0.14 \leq Q \leq 2.18$ GeV. The precision of the new results is much improved over the previous extractions and the reach in $Q$ at the lower end is significantly expanded. The data show that $\alpha_{g_1}(Q)$ becomes $Q$-independent at very low $Q$. They compare well with two recent predictions of the QCD effective charge based on Dyson-Schwinger equations and on the AdS/CFT duality.

  1. Asymptotic gauge symmetry and UV extension of the nonperturbative coupling in holographic QCD

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A holographic effective strong coupling with momentum-dependent confinement strength and ultraviolet boundary conditions reproduces alpha_s data at all scales and gives alpha_s(MZ) = 0.1161 +/- 0.0017.

  2. Insight on confinement from the QCD effective charge

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    Assigning the imaginary poles of α_g1 to parton propagators produces long-distance damping e^{-Λ_s|x|/√2}|x|^{-5/2+d_a}, interpreting confinement as Green's-function suppression.

  3. Flipped Rotating Axion Non-minimally Coupled to Gravity: Baryogenesis and Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A rotating axion, kicked into motion by a sign flip in its gravitational effective potential during kination, can co-generate baryon asymmetry and dark matter in a Majoron seesaw model.
