We update the experimental moments for the charm quark as computed in arXiv:hep-ph/0702103. and used in arXiv:0907.2110 and arXiv:1010.6157 for the determination of the charm-quark mass. The new value for the MSbar charm-quark mass reads…

We present the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^5m_q)$ result for the ground state energy of a heavy quarkonium system. On the basis of this result we determine the bottom quark mass from $\Upsilon(1S)$ resonance and…

We consider the photo-excitation of charm and bottom pentaquarks with the holographic assignments $[\frac 12\frac 12^-]_{S=0,1}$ and $[\frac 12\frac 32^-]_{S=1}$, in the photo-production of heavy vector mesons such as charmonia and…
The Large Hadron Collider experiments are probing the evolution of the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ up to the TeV scale. We show how the ratio of 3- to 2-jets cross sections is affected by the presence of new physics and argue that it can be…
We apply the gradient flow on a color-electric two-point function that encodes the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient. The simulations are done on fine isotropic lattices in the quenched approximation at $1.5\,T_c$. The continuum…
The charm-quark mass is typically not so far from the cutoff 1/a in lattice simulations. Its determinant may then potentially introduce large cutoff effects. We choose the O(a)-improved Wilson formulation and compute the vacuum polarization…
