Charm Effects in the $\bar{MS}$ Bottom Quark Mass from $\Upsilon$ Mesons

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-01-25 v1

Abstract

We study the shift in the Υ\Upsilon mass due to a non-zero charm quark mass. This shift affects the value of the MSˉ\bar{\rm MS} bb-quark mass extracted from the Υ\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.
