   7# Two-Loop QCD Running of α_s in MS-bar
   8
   9Module 1 of the Heavy Quark closure track. This extends the existing
  10one-loop `AlphaRunning.alpha_s_running` to include the second beta-function
  11coefficient `b_1`, giving the standard MS-bar two-loop running formula.
  12
  13The two-loop beta function in MS-bar is
  14
  15  d alpha_s / d log mu^2 = -beta0 alpha_s^2 - beta1 alpha_s^3 + O(alpha_s^4)
  16
  17where, with N_c = 3 and N_f active flavors:
  18  - beta0 = (11 N_c - 2 N_f) / (12 pi)
  19  - beta1 = (34 N_c^2 - (10 N_c + 6 C_F) N_f) / (24 pi^2)
  20         = (102 - 38 N_f / 3) / (8 pi^2)         (canonical SU(3) form)
  21
  22Solved to two loops (no threshold matching here; threshold matching is in
  23the next module):
  24
  25  1/alpha_s(mu) = 1/alpha_s(mu_0) + beta0 * log(mu^2 / mu_0^2)
  26                  + (beta1 / beta0) * log(1 + beta0 alpha_s(mu_0) log(mu^2 / mu_0^2))
  27
  28This module exposes the exact closed form, proves positivity and basic
  29monotonicity, and connects to the one-loop limit.

 104The PDG value `alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.1179 +- 0.0009`. The RS prediction is
 105`alpha_s_geom = 2/17 ≈ 0.11765`, sitting inside the PDG bracket. The two-loop
 106formula, evaluated at mu_0 = M_Z = mu, returns alpha_0 exactly (the log
 107vanishes), so the two-loop framework is self-consistent at the anchor scale.
