The bottomonium spectrum up to $n = 3$ is studied within Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics up to N$^3$LO. We consider finite charm quark mass effects both in the QCD potential and the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$-pole mass relation up to…
The charm-loop contribution to B -> Xs gamma is found to be numerically dominant and very stable under logarithmic QCD corrections. The strong enhancement of the branching ratio by QCD logarithms is mainly due to the b-quark mass evolution…
I will describe recent results from the HPQCD collaboration using a new very accurate method for charm quarks in lattice QCD, that we have used in calculations including the full effect of u, d and s sea quarks. Multiple values of the…
This talk summarizes the study of the dynamics of the heavy-light \bar Qq open charm and beauty mesons obtained in [1] using QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) and motivated by the recent experimental discovery of the D{sJ}(2317) and D{sJ}(2457)…
In this contribution two recent analyses for the extraction of the charm quark mass are discussed. Although they rely on completely different experimental and theoretical input the two methods provide the same final results for the charm…
Recent $p_{\rm T}$-integrated cross section measurements of the ground-state charm mesons and baryons, D$^{\rm 0}$, D$^+$, D$_{\rm s}^{+}$, $\Lambda_{\rm c}^{+}$, and $\Xi_{\rm c}^0$, are used to evaluate the charm fragmentation fractions…

We use overlap fermions as valence quarks to calculate meson masses in a wide quark mass range on the $2+1$-flavor domain-wall fermion gauge configurations generated by the RBC and UKQCD Collaborations. The well-defined quark masses in the…
We present new values for the $\bar{MS}$ masses of $b$ and $c$ quarks based on lattice NRQCD simulations of the $\Upsilon (b\bar{b})$ and $\psi (c\bar{c})$ systems. These include three measurements of the $b$ mass based on quenched…
We present the determination of the charm quark mass, the masses, and decay constants of charmed mesons using thirteen 2+1 flavor gauge ensembles at five different lattice spacings $a\in[0.05,0.11]$ fm, 8 pion masses $m_{\pi}\in(130,360)$…
We determine the bottom quark mass $\hat{m}_b$ from QCD sum rules of moments of the vector current correlator calculated in perturbative QCD to ${\cal O} (\hat\alpha_s^3)$. Our approach is based on the mutual consistency across a set of…
The talk presents an update of the bottom quark mass determination from QCD moment sum rules for the Upsilon system by the authors. Employing the MS_bar scheme, we find m_b(m_b) = 4.19 +- 0.06 GeV. The differences to our previous analysis…
Recent CMS observations in the di-$J/\psi$ invariant mass spectrum reveal new structures at 6638 MeV ($X(6600)$)) and 7134 MeV, and confirm the $X(6900)$ at 6847 MeV. These findings provide crucial insights into four-charm-quark matter. The…
We present a high precision lattice calculation of the average up/down, strange and charm quark masses performed with Nf=2 twisted mass Wilson fermions. The analysis includes data at four values of the lattice spacing and pion masses as low…
In this work the charm and bottom quark masses are determined from QCD moment sum rules for the charmonium and upsilon systems. To illustrate the special character of these sum rules when applied to Coulomb systems we first set up and study…
We combine the known asymptotic behaviour of the QCD perturbation series expansion, which relates the pole mass of a heavy quark to the MSbar mass, with the exact series coefficients up to the four-loop order to determine the ultimate…
We investigate the masses of the light quarks with lattice QCD. We show that most of the large dependence on the lattice spacing, a, observed in previous determinations using Wilson fermions is removed with the use of an O(a) corrected…
