Corrections to the exact heavy--quark symmetry results are expected to follow the $1/m_{Q}$ mass effect of the heavy--quark. We show, by an explicit calculation, that there is something other than the mass effect that suppresses the…
A physically defined QCD coupling parameter naturally incorporates massive quark flavor thresholds in a gauge invariant, renormalization scale independent and analytical way. In this paper we summarize recent results for the finite-mass…
Using recently evaluated contributions (including a novel one calculated here), we present updated values for the pole mass and $\bar{MS}$ mass of the $b$ quark: $m_b=5022\pm58$ MeV, for the pole mass, and $\bar{m}_b(\bar{m}_b)=4286\pm36$…
