2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/197871We present a new extraction of the effective strong coupling constant α_{s,g_1}(Q^2). The result agrees with a previous determination and extends the measurement of the low and high Q^2 behavior of α_{s,g_1}(Q^2) that was previously deduced from sum rules. In particular, it experimentally verifies the lack of Q^2-dependence of α_{s,g_1}(Q^2) in the low Q^2 limit. This fact is necessary for application of the AdS/CFT correspondence to QCD calculations. We provide a parameterization of α_{s,g_1}(Q^2) thatcan equivalently be used to parameterize the Q^2-dependence of the generalized Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn and Bjorken sums.Updated to the version published in PLB (minor modifications)High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyDetermination of the effective strong coupling constant alpha_{s,g_1}(Q^2) from CLAS spin structure function datatext
