alphas at low Q2 from e+e- and tau data
Abstract
It has been shown in recent analyses by ALEPH [1] and OPAL [2] that precision QCD tests are possible with hadronic tau decays by comparing spectral moments of the hadronic decay ratio of the tau with QCD calculations. In principle e+e- data can be used in a similar manner by evaluating spectral moments of R. The current e+e- data is compared with the OPAL tau data and a prediction is made on the achievable accuracy of QCD tests with the projected precision of PEP-N [3].
