We review the present status of the Standard Model calculation of the anomalous magnetic
moment of the muon. This is performed in a perturbative expansion in the fine-structure …

We review the present theoretical and empirical knowledge for α s, the fundamental
coupling underlying the interactions of quarks and gluons in Quantum Chromodynamics …

The inspiration for this book came from François le Diberder. During his term as
spokesperson for B 八 B 八 R he laid down a vision for the two B Factory detector …

The muon anomalous magnetic moment is one of the most precisely measured quantities in
particle physics. In a recent experiment at Brookhaven it has been measured with a …

Precise measurements of the lepton properties provide stringent tests of the Standard Model
and accurate determinations of its parameters. We overview the present status of τ physics …

A certain pattern of divergence of perturbative expansions in quantum field theories, related
to their small and large momentum behaviour, is known as renormalons. We review formal …

The book gives an introduction to the basics of the anomalous magnetic moments of leptons
and reviews the current state of our knowledge of the anomalous magnetic moment (g− 2) of …

The modern status of basic low energy QCD parameters is reviewed. It is demonstrated that
the recent data allow one to determine the light quark mass ratios with an accuracy of 10 …

The full LEP-1 data set collected with the ALEPH detector at the Z pole during 1991–1995 is
analysed in order to measure the τ decay branching fractions. The analysis follows the …

This document provides a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art, challenges, and
prospects in the experimental and theoretical study of the strong coupling $\alpha_s $. The …
