Unquenched calculation of alpha_s from Green functions: progress report

Abstract

We present preliminary results on the computation of the QCD running coupling constant in the MOM_tilde scheme and Landau gauge with two flavours of dynamical Wilson quarks. Gluon momenta range up to about 7 GeV (beta=5.6, 5.8 and 6.0) with a constant dynamical quark mass. This range already allows to exhibit some evidence for a sizeable 1/mu^2 correction to the asymptotic behaviour, as in the quenched approximation. We find Lambda_MS^(N_f=2) = 264(27) MeV x [a^{-1}(5.6,0.1560)/(2.19 GeV)], which leads to alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.113(3)(4). In view of the systematics error to be controlled, this encouraging result is more a preliminary indication than a real prediction.
