Charm Effects in the $\overline{MS}$ Bottom Quark Mass from $\Upsilon$ Mesons
We study the shift in the $\Upsilon$ mass due to a non-zero charm quark mass. This shift affects the value of the $\bar{\rm MS}$ $b$-quark mass extracted from the $\Upsilon$ system by about -20 MeV, due to an incomplete cancellation of terms that are non-analytic in the charm quark mass. The precise...

Sumario: | We study the shift in the $\Upsilon$ mass due to a non-zero charm quark mass. This shift affects the value of the $\bar{\rm MS}$ $b$-quark mass extracted from the $\Upsilon$ system by about -20 MeV, due to an incomplete cancellation of terms that are non-analytic in the charm quark mass. The precise size of the shift depends on unknown higher order corrections, and might have a considerable uncertainty if they are large. |
