Abstract

Abstract We revisit previous determination of the strong coupling constant from moments of quarkonium correlators in (2 + 1)-flavor QCD. We use previously calculated moments obtained with Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action for five different quark masses and several lattice spacings. We perform a careful continuum extrapolations of the moments and from the comparison of these to the perturbative result we determine the QCD Lambda parameter, $$\varLambda _{\overline{MS}}^{n_f=3}=332 \pm 17 \pm 2(scale)$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mi>Λ</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mover> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>MS</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>¯</mml:mo> </mml:mover> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mi>f</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msubsup> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>332</mml:mn> <mml:mo>±</mml:mo> <mml:mn>17</mml:mn> <mml:mo>±</mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> <mml:mi>c</mml:mi> <mml:mi>a</mml:mi> <mml:mi>l</mml:mi> <mml:mi>e</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> MeV.
