Abstract

The value of the light quark masses combination mu+mdm_u + m_d is analized using QCD-Hadron Duality. A detailed analysis of both the perturbative QCD [to four-loops] and the hadronic parametrization needed is done. The result we get is [mu+md](1GeV2)=(12.8±2.5)[m_u + m_d] (1 GeV^2) = (12.8 \pm 2.5) MeV ([mu+md](4GeV2)=(9.8±1.9)[m_u + m_d] (4 GeV^2) = (9.8 \pm 1.9) MeV) in the \barMS\barMS scheme.
