The "alphas-2022: Workshop on precision measurements of the strong coupling constant" conference,will be held at ECT*-Trento in the first week of February 2022, aims at exploring in depth the current status and upcoming prospects in the determination of the QCD coupling constant from the key observables where high-precision experimental measurements and theoretical calculations are (or will be) available: (i) lattice QCD, (ii) hadronic decays of tau leptons, (iii) deep-inelastic electron-proton scattering and global parton densities analyses, (iv) QCD corrections to electroweak precision observables, and analysis of (v) hadronic final states in high energy particle collisions (, ep, and pp). This workshop is a follow-up of similar alpha_s meetings that took place in 2011 (MPI, Munich), 2015 (CERN), and 2019 (ECT*-Trento).
The main outcome of the meeting will be an "alpha_S Snowmass White Paper (2022)" writeup to be publicly submitted in 15th March 2022. All contributors will be therefore asked to provide a 1-2 pages summary of their work at the end of the workshop.
