Heavy-quark masses from low-energy moments of heavy-quark currents
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the newest results for the determination of heavy-quark masses from low-energy moments of the vacuum polarization function. The results presented here update an earlier determination of the quark masses and incorporate new theoretical calculations of the low-energy moments of the vacuum polarization and new experimental data at the bottom threshold.

Heavy quark induced effective action for gauge fields in the SU ( N c ) ⊗ U ( 1 ) model and the low - energy structure of heavy quark current correlators
Heavy quark induced effective action for gauge fields in the SU (N c) ⊗ U (1) model and the low-energy structure of heavy quark current correlators Abstract We calculate the low-energy limit of heavy quark current correlators within an expansion in the inverse heavy quark mass. The induced low-energy currents built from the gluon fields corresponding to the initial heavy quark currents are obta...
متن کاملDecoupling of heavy-quark loops in light-light and heavy-light quark currents
Matching of light-light quark currents in QCD with a heavy flavour and in the lowenergy effective QCD is calculated in MS at two loops. Heavy-light HQET currents are similarly considered. Consider QCD with nl light flavours and a single heavy one having mass M . Processes involving only light fields with momenta pi ≪ M can be described by an effective field theory — QCD with nl flavours plus 1/...
متن کاملHigher Moments of Heavy Quark Correlators in the Low Energy Limit at O ( α 2 s )
We present the first 30 moments of the low energy expansions of the vector, axialvector, scalar and pseudo-scalar heavy quark correlation functions at three-loop order, including the singlet contribution which appears for the first time at three loops. In addition we compare the behavior of the moments for large n with the prediction from threshold calculations.
متن کاملThe heavy mesons in Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model
We propose an extended Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model to include the heavy mesons with the heavy quark symmetry. The quark current-current interaction is generalized to include the heavy quark currents. In order to comply with the heavy quark spin symmetry at the heavy quark limit, the quark mass dependence of the interaction strength is introduced. The light and heavy pseudo-scalar and vector meson,...
متن کاملTHE ROLE OF QUARK POLARIZATION IN HEAVY QUARK FRAGMENTATION
We calculate the exact fragmentation functions for c and b quark fragmentation taking into account the spin orientation of the initial heavy quark in the form of analytical and rather simple expressions. Our calculations show that spin orientation may have an important effect on the fragmentation spectrum. This effect is more striking in the cases of c ?D, D*; c? ? , ? , and ?B , B *.
