$\alpha_s$ extractions from CMS (status and plans)

K. Rabbertz · CERN Document Server (European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2015

Numerous extractions of the strong coupling constant have been performed at hadron colliders, in particular from jet cross sections. The latest results achieved by the experiments at the $ep$ collider HERA, at the $p\\bar{p}$ collider Tevatron, and at the $pp$ collider LHC are reported with emphasis on the CMS experiment for the latter. Future prospects for precision determinations of $\\alpha_s(M_Z)$ and for testing the running of the strong coupling beyond the TeV range are discussed.
