The Charm Quarks's Mass

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2008-11-26 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

The charm quark's mass is determined from Monte Carlo calculations of the cˉc\bar{c}c spectrum. The main sources of uncertainty are perturbation theory (for conversion to \MSbar\MSbar), the continuum-limit extrapolation, Monte Carlo statistics, and the effects of quenching. The (preliminary) result for the \MSbar\MSbar mass is mˉch(mch)=1.33±0.08\bar{m}_{ch}(m_{ch})=1.33\pm 0.08 GeV.
