Abstract

We use the O(αs3){\cal O}(\alpha_s^3) approximation of the heavy-quark vacuum polarization function in the threshold region to determine the bottom quark mass from nonrelativistic Υ\Upsilon sum rules. We find very good stability and convergence of the perturbative series for the bottom quark mass in MS\rm\overline{MS} renormalization scheme. Our final result is mb(mb)=4.169±0.008th±0.002αs±0.002exp\overline{m}_b(\overline{m}_b)=4.169\pm 0.008_{th}\pm 0.002_{\alpha_s}\pm 0.002_{exp}.
