Bottonium mass - evaluation using renormalon cancellation
Abstract
We present a method of calculating the bottonium mass M[Upsilon(1S)] = [2 mb + E(b barb)]. The binding energy is separated into the soft and ultrasoft components E(b barb)=[E(s)+E(us)] by requiring the reproduction of the correct residue parameter value of the renormalon singularity for the renormalon cancellation in the sum [2 mb + E(s)]. The Borel resummation is then performed separately for (2 mb) and E(s), using the infrared safe MSbar mass [bar mb] as input. E(us) is estimated. Comparing the result with the measured value of M[Upsilon(1S)], the extracted value of the quark mass is [bar mb](mu=[bar mb]) = 4.241 +- 0.068 GeV (for the central value alphas(MZ)=0.1180). This value of [bar mb] is close to the earlier values obtained from the QCD spectral sum rules, but lower than from pQCD evaluations without the renormalon structure for heavy quarkonia.
