QCD Decoupling at Four Loops
read the original abstract
We present the matching condition for the strong coupling contant alpha_s at a heavy quark threshold to four loops in the modified minimal subtraction scheme. Our results lead to further decrease of the theoretical uncertainty of the evolution of the strong coupling constant through heavy quark thresholds. Using a low energy theorem we furthermore derive the effective coupling of the Higgs boson to gluons (induced by a virtual heavy quark) in four- and (partially) through five-loop approximation.

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.
