The three loop relation between the \bar {MS} and the pole quark masses

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

The analytic relation between the \bar {MS} and the pole quark masses is computed to O(\alpha_s^3) in QCD. Using this exact result, the accuracy of the large \beta_0 approximation is critically examined and the implications of the obtained relation for semileptonic B decays are discussed.
