What is On Artin's conjecture on average and short character sums about?

Let $N_a(x)$ denote the number of primes up to $x$ for which the integer $a$ is a primitive root. We show that $N_a(x)$ satisfies the asymptotic predicted by Artin's conjecture for almost all $1\le a\le \exp((\log \log x)^2)$. This improves on a result of Stephens (1969). A key ingredient in the proof is a new short character sum estimate over the integers, improving on the range of a result of Garaev (2006).
