Quark mass relations to four-loop order

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-05-01 v2

Abstract

We present results for the relation between a heavy quark mass defined in the on-shell and MSˉ\bar{\rm MS} scheme to four-loop order. The method to compute the four-loop on-shell integral is briefly described and the new results are used to establish relations between various short-distance masses and the MSˉ\bar{\rm MS} quark mass to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy. These relations play an important role in the accurate determination of the MSˉ\bar{\rm MS} heavy quark masses.
