Correlation matrix of the unfolding uncertainty between the inclusive-jet measurement and the previous dijet measurement. Correlations are given in percent.

Summary of different determinations of $\alpha_s(M_Z^2)$ at NNLO or higher order, adapted from PDG, see references therein. The red points are included in the PDG world average. The averages from each sub-field are shown as yellow bands and the world average as a blue band. A recent measurement from CMS using jet cross sections and the latest determination from HERAPDF, which are not yet included in the world average, are shown in green. The current determination, assuming half-correlated and half-uncorrelated scale uncertainties, is shown in black.

Value of the strong coupling $\alpha_s(\mu^2)$ as a function of the scale $\mu$. The data points indicate determinations from measurements that were performed close to the indicated scale. The uncertainties represent the full uncertainty of each determination. All depicted results were obtained at least at NNLO. They are based on data from $e^+e^-$, $ep$ and $pp$ collisions, as well as from $\tau$ lepton decays and quarkonium states. The solid blue line shows the PDG world average. Also shown are the $\alpha_s(M_Z^2)$ values corresponding to each data point.

Double-differential inclusive-jet cross sections using the alternative treatment of QED radiation, as explained in <a href="https://inspirehep.net/literature/2714089">the accompanying thesis</a> (section 9.5.3 and table C.7) and <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.18136">arXiv:2405.18136</a>. The alternative treatment affects the central value of the cross sections, $\sigma$, the QED correction factors $c_\text{QED}$ and their uncertainty and the sum of all uncorrelated uncertainties $\delta_\text{uncor}$. All other uncertainties and corrections are identical to Tables 1 and 2 and should be taken from there.
