Abstract

Precision measurements of Z0Z^0 boson properties could enable a determination of the mass of the b quark at the scale of the Z0Z^0 boson mass mb(mZ)m_b(m_Z). The dependence of Standard Model predictions on the b quark mass using the program Gfitter is studied. The precision of the currently available measurements by the LEP experiments and SLD, together with measurements from the LHC experiments of the mass of the top quark and the Higgs boson, is not sufficient for a relevant measurement. The predicted precision of Z0Z^0 boson resonance measurements at future e+ee^+e^- colliders will allow a competitive determination of mb(mZ)m_b(m_Z).
