Strong Coupling Constant with Flavour Thresholds at Four Loops in the MS-bar Scheme
read the original abstract
We present in analytic form the matching conditions for the strong coupling constant alpha_s^(n_f)(mu) at the flavour thresholds to three loops in the modified minimal-subtraction scheme. Taking into account the recently calculated coefficient beta_3 of the Callan-Symanzik beta function of quantum chromodynamics, we thus derive a four-loop formula for alpha_s^(n_f)(mu) together with appropriate relationships between the asymptotic scale parameters Lambda^(n_f) for different numbers of flavours n_f.

Heavy-quark transport across the QCD crossover driven by a lattice-constrained in-medium potential
A self-consistent heavy-quark transport model using a lattice-constrained potential with Yukawa and string contributions predicts 2πT Ds ≈ 0.5-1.7 near the QCD crossover, matching lattice QCD results.
