coupling constant

[′kəp·liŋ ′kän·stənt]

(particle physics)

A measure of the strength of a type of interaction between particles, such as the strong interaction between mesons and nucleons, and the weak interaction between four fermions; analogous to the electric charge, which is the coupling constant between charged particles and electromagnetic radiation.

(physics)

A measure of the strength of the coupling between two systems, especially electric circuits; maximum coupling is 1 and no coupling is 0. Also known as coefficient of coupling; coupling coefficient.

A measure of the dependence of one physical quantity on another.

Section 4 gives the calculations of the electron charge and the QED coupling constant up to the two-loop level, whereas Section 5, the last section, is devoted to the discussions of the results of all the calculations to explicitly prove the renormalizability of the theory up to the two-loop level, below the decoupling temperature.

The Ramsey terms computed with only minimal basis set 3-21G are in a close relationship with the one computed with higher basis set DGDZVP(Ru)|6-21+G(d,p) but it underestimates the values of the FC and SD and consequentially the values of the total spin-spin coupling constant (J (HZ)) (Table S1) while the magnitude of PSO and DMO remains virtually the same.
