What is the value of electromagnetic coupling at the energy where it merges into electroweak couplings?
Physics Asked by N.K. on January 25, 2021
It is known that its zero-energy value is the fine-structure constant α, about 1/137.036.
Various sources state that the running value is in the 1/129-1/127 range at the Z-boson energy (91 GeV). What should be the value at the electroweak symmetry breaking scale?
One Answer
Well, the v.e.v. of the SM is about a quarter of a TeV, but that hardly matters, since the EM coupling varies very slowly there,
So you wish to study the results of OPAL 2006, namely
