Description
The strong coupling $\alpha_{\mathrm{s}}(m_{Z})$ at the pole mass $m_{Z}$ of the $Z$ boson is a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model. I discuss ongoing efforts targeting a precise determination of the strong coupling from the continuous (infinite volume) gradient flow $\beta$-function using the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action.
