Bottom and Charm Quark Mass Determination from Quarkonium at N$^3$LO
Abstract
The non-perturbative nature of QCD at hadronic scales implied the development of phenomenological approaches such as quark models or, more recently, computer-based calculations using Lattice QCD. However, the unique properties of heavy quarkonium systems allow an entire calculation in terms of non-relativistic perturbative QCD. In this work, the bottomonium spectrum, up to , and the ground state charmonium states, are analyzed in the framework of Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics at NLO. For bottomonium, finite charm quark mass effects in the QCD potential and the -pole mass relation are incorporated to the highest known order, in the -scheme counting. The bottom quark pole mass is expressed in terms of the MSR mass, a low-scale short-distance mass which cancels the renormalon of the static potential. We study the and schemes, finding a negligible difference between the two if finite effects are smoothly incorporated in the MSR mass definition. We find that bottomonium states are not well behaved within perturbative NRQCD. Hence, fitting to the states we obtain GeV. Similarly, from the lowest lying charmonium states we find GeV.
