- although, we only provide methods for
:math:`a_i = \frac{\alpha_i(\mu^2)}{4\pi}` the reference value has to be
given in terms of :math:`\alpha_i(\mu_0^2)` due to legacy reasons
- the ``order`` refers to the perturbative order of the beta function, thus
``order=(0,0)`` means leading order beta function, means evolution with :math:`\beta_qcd_as2`,
means running at 1-loop - so there is a natural mismatch between ``order`` and the
number of loops by one unit
- the ``order`` refers to the perturbative order of the beta functions, i.e.
the number of loops for QCD and QED respectively. QCD is always running with
at least 1 loop, while QED might not run at all (so 0 loop).
Normalization is given by :cite:`Herzog:2017ohr`:
