Revised fits to $\Delta\alpha/\alpha$ in consistency with the accelerating universe

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new analysis method for the time variation of the fine-structure constant, integrating recent laboratory, Oklo, and QSO data within an accelerating universe framework.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach to reconcile diverse observational constraints on the fine-structure constant's variability with cosmological acceleration.

Findings

Consistent fit of laboratory, Oklo, and QSO data with an accelerating universe model.

Improved constraints on the variability of the fine-structure constant.

Enhanced understanding of fundamental constant evolution over cosmic time.

Abstract

An attempt is made for a new type of analysis of the time-variability of the fine-structure constant trying to fit the most recent result from the laboratory measurements, the Oklo constraint and the data from the QSO absorption lines all in consistency with the accelerating universe.
