NNNLO determination of the bottom-quark mass from non-relativistic sum rules
Abstract
The mass of the bottom quark can be determined with high precision from moments of the pair-production cross section sigma(e+ e- -> b bbar) near threshold. We present the first complete NNNLO determination from non-relativistic sum rules, obtaining a bottom-quark mass of mbPS(2 GeV) = (4.532 +0.013 -0.039) GeV in the potential-subtracted scheme. For the mass in the MSbar scheme we find mbMS(mbMS) = (4.203 +0.016 -0.034) GeV using the recently computed four-loop correction to the scheme conversion.
