mc (and mb) from lattice QCD

Abstract

Quark mass determinations based on lattice QCD simulations have continued to make strides in recent years. Here I review that progress with a focus on developments computing the charm (and bottom) quark masses since the 2015 edition of CHARM. These advances have resulted in groups now quoting (sub-)percent-level precision for these quantities, and, importantly, using a variety of techniques subject to differing systematic uncertainties. Improvements to quantify the effects of QED are also now being included. I will highlight three of the strategies being used to determine mc at this level of precision.
