Calculations of αS(q2) of π– Mesons and Protons from p +p and p + C Interactions at 10 GeV/c

In this paper we have calculated the values of the running coupling constants α S(q²) of π ⁻ mesons and protons from $$p + p$$ and $$p + C$$ interactions at 10\,\,GeV/c . The value of the cut parameter Λ _QCD obtained previously by the authors [1], was used: Λ _QCD = (c )\,GeV = 0.197\,GeV. The results have been compared with QCD predictions.
