Precise Charm- and Bottom-Quark Masses: Recent Updates
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent theoretical and experimental improvements in the determination of charm and bottom quark masses are discussed. The final results, mc(3GeV) = 986(13)MeV and mb(mb) = 4163(16)MeV represent, together with a closely related lattice determination mc(3 GeV) = 986(10)MeV, the presently most precise determinations of these two fundamental Standard Model parameters. A critical analysis of the theoretical and experimental uncertainties is presented.

Determination of α s and heavy quark masses from recent measurements of R ( s )
In this paper we compare recent experimental data for the total cross section σ(e+e− → hadrons) with the up-to-date theoretical prediction of perturbative QCD for those energies where perturbation theory is reliable. The excellent agreement suggests the determination of the strong coupling αs from the measurements in the continuum. The precise data from the charm threshold region, when combined...
متن کاملUpdate of Heavy Baryon Mass Predictions
Predictions of unknown heavy baryon masses based on an expansion in 1/mQ, 1/Nc and SU(3) breaking are updated to take into account a recent measurement of the Σc mass. Values are given for the two remaining unknown charm baryon masses Ξc and Ω ∗ c and the seven unknown bottom baryon masses Ξb, Σb, Ξ ′ b, Ωb, Σ ∗ b , Ξ ∗ b and Ω ∗ b . The spectrum of baryons containing a single charm or bottom q...

متن کاملHeavy Quark Masses from Sum Rules in Four-Loop Approximation
New data for the total cross section σ(e+e− → hadrons) in the charm and bottom threshold region are combined with an improved theoretical analysis, which includes recent four-loop calculations, to determine the short distance MS charm and bottom quark masses. A detailed discussion of the theoretical and experimental uncertainties is presented. The final result for the MS-masses, mc(3 GeV) = 0.9...
