Description

The strong coupling alpha_s is a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model and high accuracy at the 0.5 percent level or better will be required to maximize the potential of the LHC and other experiments.
Lattice QCD is ideally placed to achieve this goal. As a member of the FLAG working group on alpha_s I present an update of the current situation and an outlook on future prospects.
