Brief class description:: O1AlphaS inherits from AlphaSBase and implements the leading order running QCD coupling. The value is determined by the LambdaQCD parameter at a given number of flavours, LambdaFlav. Optionally the coupling can be frozen under some minimum scale, FreezeScale to avoid divergencies or negative couplings.

Name: FreezeScale
Type: Parameter

Description:: The scale in units of GeV below which $\alpha_S$ is frozen.
Default value: 0
Minimum value: 0

Name: LambdaFlav
Type: Integer parameter

Description:: The number of active flavours for which LambdaQCD is specified.
Default value: 4
Minimum value: 3
Maximum value: 8 (May be changed by member function.)

Name: MaxFlav
Type: Integer parameter

Description:: The maximum number of flavours used to calculate $\alpha_S$ .
Default value: 6
Minimum value: 3
Maximum value: 8

Name: LambdaQCD
Type: Parameter

Description:: The $\Lambda_{QCD}$ in GeV for LambdaFlav active flavours. The value for other numbers of active flavours is derived by assuming that $\alpha_S$ is continuous.
Default value: 0.25
Minimum value: 0
