$\alpha_s(\mu)$ from $M_{\chi_{0c(0b)}}-M_{\eta_{c(b)}}$@N2LO

Abstract

This note complements and clarifies the results obtained in the original paper {\it QCD Parameters Correlations from Heavy Quarkonia} [1] where, here, we present a more detailed discussion of the \alpha_s-results obtained @ N2LO at two different subtraction scales \mu=2.85 and 9.50 GeV from the (pseudo)scalar heavy quarkonia mass-spliitings M_{\chi_{0c(0b)}}-M_{\eta_{c(b)}}. We obtain from the M_{\chi_{0c}}-M_{\eta_{c}} sum rule: \alpha_s(2.85)=0.262(9) --> \alpha_s(M_\tau)=0.318(15) --> \alpha_s(M_Z)=0.1183(19)(3) and from the M_{\chi_{0b}}-M_{\eta_{b}} one: \alpha_s(9.50)=0.180(8) --> \alpha_s(M_\tau)=0.312(27) --> \alpha_s(M_Z)=0.1175(32)(3), in complete agreement with the world average: \alpha_s(M_Z)=0.1181(11).
