Abstract

We discuss the renormalization of different definitions of quark masses in the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover fermionic action. For the improved case we give the correct relationship between the quark mass and the hopping parameter. Using perturbative and non-perturbative renormalization constants, we extract quark masses in the \MSbar\MSbar scheme from Lattice QCD in the quenched approximation at β=6.0\beta=6.0, β=6.2\beta=6.2 and β=6.4\beta=6.4 for both actions. We find: mˉ\MSbar(2GeV)=5.7±0.1±0.8\bar{m}^{\MSbar}(2 GeV)=5.7 \pm 0.1 \pm 0.8 MeV, ms\MSbar(2GeV)=130±2±18m_s^{\MSbar}(2GeV)= 130 \pm 2 \pm 18 MeV and mc\MSbar(2GeV)=1662±30±230m_c^{\MSbar}(2 GeV) = 1662\pm 30\pm 230 MeV.
