Precise Charm- and Bottom-Quark Masses: Recent Updates
Abstract
Recent theoretical and experimental improvements in the determination of charm and bottom quark masses are discussed. The final results, mc(3 GeV)=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.
