چکیده

We compute the b quark mass from dynamical lattice QCD with clover quarks. The calculation is done at a fixed lattice spacing with sea quark masses as low as half the strange quark mass. Our final result is m b (m b) = 4.25(2)(11) GeV, where the first error is statistical and the last error is the systematic uncertainty.

The heavy-quark expansion for inclusive semi-leptonic B decays introduces Λ̄ and λ1, which are matrix elements in heavy-quark effective field theory. We review how they can be obtained from an analysis of the heavy quark mass dependence of heavy-light meson masses in lattice QCD. We present preliminary results for the bottom quark mass, mb, using Λ̄ and λ1 for the Bs meson from a 2+1 sea-flavor u...

We present results for the static-light meson from unquenched lattice QCD. The unquenched gauge configurations were generated using the non-perturbatively improved clover action. At the fixed lattice spacing of 0.1 fm the lightest sea quark mass used is a third of the strange quark mass. A comparison is made between heavy-light chiral perturbation theory and the f B decay constant. The mass of ...

NLO QCD corrections to Wbb̄ and Zbb̄ production

We present NLO QCD results for Wbb̄ and Zbb̄ production at the Tevatron including full bottomquark mass effects. We study the impact of QCD corrections on both total cross-section and invariant mass distribution of the bottom-quark pair. Including NLO QCD corrections greatly reduces the dependence of the tree-level cross-section on the renormalization and factorization scales. We also compare our...

Heavy-heavy-light quark potential in two approaches

There are a large number of studies about the interquark potential in hadrons. The interquark potential is mainly generated by gluon dynamics reflecting the SU(3) gauge symmetry. In particular, as many lattice QCD studies, the static and quenched approximation produces the only gluonic potential. However, realistic hadrons include not only gluons but also quarks, and quarks affect the interquar...
