We present a review of measurements of alpha_S. The individual measurements are discussed and intermediate averages for classes of related measurements are found. The final average is built using the intermediate values. Correlations are treated consistently. The ICHEP 2006 world average is alpha_S(M_Z) = 0.1175 +/- 0.0011 dominated by the recent result from lattice QCD.

A review of recent precision measurements of the electromagnetic form factors of the mesons, pion and kaon, and the hyperons, $Lambda^0$, $Sigma^0$, $Sigma^+$, $Xi^-$, $Xi^0$, $Omega^-$, at large timelike momentum transfers is presented. Evidence is found for diquark correlations in $Lambda^0$, $Sigma^0$ hyperons.
The evolution of the determination of the strong coupling constant $alpha_s$ from the leptonic branching ratios, the lifetime, and the invariant mass distributions of the hadronic final state of the $tau$ lepton over the last two decades is briefly reviewed. The improvements in the latest ALEPH update are described in some detail. Currently this is one of the most precise $alpha_s$ determinations. Together with the other determination at the $Z$ boson mass pole, they constitutes the most accurate test of the asymptotic freedom in QCD.
This document collects a written summary of all contributions presented at the workshop $alpha_s$(2019): Precision measurements of the strong coupling held at ECT* (Trento) in Feb. 11--15, 2019. The workshop explored in depth the latest developments on the determination of the QCD coupling $alpha_s$ from the key categories where high precision measurements are available: (i) lattice QCD, (ii) hadronic $tau$ decays, (iii) deep-inelastic scattering and parton distribution functions, (iv) event shapes, jet cross sections, and other hadronic final-states in $e^+e^-$ collisions, (v) Z boson and W boson hadronic decays, and (vi) hadronic final states in p-p collisions. The status of the current theoretical and experimental uncertainties associated to each extraction method, and future perspectives were thoroughly reviewed. Novel $alpha_s$ determination approaches were discussed, as well as the combination method used to obtain a world-average value of the QCD coupling at the Z mass pole.
At the Tevatron Collider at Fermilab, a large number of top quarks have been produced in the ongoing run. The CDF and DZero collaborations have made first measurements of the ttbar cross section in several decay channels, and have measured the top quark mass. In addition, they have set new limits on the cross sections for single top quark production, and have started to measure some of the properties of the top quark via studies of its decays. This paper summarizes the status of these measurements and discusses where they are heading in the next few years. The paper is based on a talk I gave at the Rencontres du Vietnam in Hanoi, August 2004; the results have been updated to show the latest values and new measurements.
Recent results on jet physics and tests of QCD from hadronic final states in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at PETRA and at LEP are reviewed, with special emphasis on hadronic event shapes, charged particle production rates, properties of quark and gluon jets and determinations of $alpha_s$. The data in the entire energy range from PETRA to LEP-2 are in broad agreement with the QCD predictions. The world summary of measurements of $alpha_s$ is updated and a detailed discussion of various methods to determine the overall error of $alpha_s (M_Z)$ is presented. The new world average is $alpha_s (M_Z) = 0.119 pm 0.004$. The size of the error depends on the treatment of correlated uncertainties.
