Order-$\alpha_s^3$ determination of the strange quark mass

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We present a QCD sum rule calculation of the strange-quark mass including four-loop QCD corrections to the correlator of scalar currents. We obtain mˉs(1\bar m_s(1 GeV)=205.5±19.1)=205.5\pm 19.1 MeV.
