A precise determination of the charm quark’s mass in quenched QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a lattice determination of the charm quark’s mass, using the mass of the Ds meson as experimental input. All errors are under control with the exception of the quenched approximation. Setting the scale with FK = 160MeV, our final result for the renormalization group invariant (RGI) quark mass is Mc = 1.654(45)GeV, which translates to mMS c (mc) = 1.301(34)GeV for the running mass in the MS scheme. A 6 percent increase of the RGI quark mass is observed when the scale is set by the nucleon mass. This is a typical quenched scale ambiguity, which is reduced to about 3 percent for mMS c (mc), and to 4 percent for the mass ratio Mc/Ms. In contrast, the mass splitting mD∗ s −mDs changes from 117(11)MeV to 94(11)MeV, which is significantly smaller than the experimental value of 144MeV.

The charm quark’s mass in quenched QCD
We present our preliminary result for the charmed quark mass, which follows from taking the Ds and K meson masses from experiment and r0 = 0.5 fm (or, equivalently FK = 160 MeV) to set the scale. For the renormalization group invariant quark mass we obtain Mc = 1684(64) MeV, which translates to mc(mc) = 1314(40)(20)(7) MeV for the running mass in the MS scheme. Renormalization is treated non-pe...

We compute the mass of the charm quark using both quenched and dynamical lattice QCD calculations. We examine the effects of mass dependent lattice artifacts by comparing two different formalisms for the heavy quarks. We take the continuum limit of the charm mass in quenched QCD by extrapolating from three different lattice spacings. At a fixed lattice spacing, the mass of the charm quark is co...

We determine the mass of the charm quark (mc) from lattice QCD with two flavors of dynamical quarks with a mass around the strange quark. We compare this to a determination in quenched QCD which has the same lattice spacing (0.1 fm). We investigate different formulations of the quark mass, based on the Vector Ward Identity, PCAC relation and the FNAL heavy quark formalism. Based on these prelim...
