Abstract

We determine the masses of the light and the strange quarks in the MSˉ\bar{MS}-scheme using our high-statistics lattice simulation of QCD with dynamical Wilson fermions. For the light quark mass we find mMSˉlight(2GeV)=2.7(2)MeVm^{light}_{\bar{MS}}(2 GeV) = 2.7(2) MeV, which is lower than in quenched simulations. For the strange quark, in a sea of two dynamical light quarks, we obtain mMSˉstrange(2GeV)=140(20)MeVm^{strange}_{\bar{MS}}(2 GeV) = 140(20) MeV.
