5. The QCD running coupling is given by the following formula, due to the QCD function.
ZEUS(82 pb) (inclusive jet yp-) = Ejt ZEUS3S pbdijet DIS- = Q ZEUS (39 pb) (inclusive jet DIS- = f-SIqdH

Strong coupling is running!

(GeV)
Using this running behavior, explain why we do not need form factors for the QCD backgrounds in analyzing LHC experimental data.
