$QCD$ renormalization for the top-quark mass is calculated in a mass geometrical mean hierarchy, $m_d m_b = m_s^2$ and $m_u m_t = m_c^2$. The physical mass, $m_t(m_t) = 160 {\pm} 50 GeV$ is obtained, which agrees very well with electroweak…
The top quark mass is currently measured to delta m_t^{exp,Tevatron} = 2.9 GeV and will be measured at the LHC to a precision of delta m_t^{exp,LHC} \approx 1-2 GeV. We show that even this impressive precision will not be sufficient for…
