Precision determination of the strong coupling constant within a global PDF analysis

Abstract We present a determination of the strong coupling constant $$\alpha _s(m_Z)$$ αs(mZ) based on the NNPDF3.1 determination of parton distributions, which for the first time includes constraints from jet production, top-quark pair differential distributions, and the Z $$p_T$$ pT distributions...
