The Charm Quarks's Mass
Abstract
The charm quark's mass is determined from Monte Carlo calculations of the cc spectrum. The main sources of uncertainty are perturbation theory (for conversion to ), the continuum-limit extrapolation, Monte Carlo statistics, and the effects of quenching. The (preliminary) result for the mass is mch(mch)=1.33 0.08 GeV.
