By combining the first unquenched lattice computation of the B-meson binding energy and the two-loop contribution to the lattice HQET residual mass, we determine the (\bar{{MS}}) (b)-quark mass, (\bar{m}_{b}(\bar{m}_{b})). The inclusion of…
Decoupling of heavy quarks at low energies can be described by means of an effective theory as shown by S. Weinberg in Ref. [1]. We study the decoupling of the charm quark by lattice simulations. We simulate a model, QCD with two degenerate…
The non-perturbative nature of QCD at hadronic scales implied the development of phenomenological approaches such as quark models or, more recently, computer-based calculations using Lattice QCD. However, the unique properties of heavy…

Higher-order QCD predictions are used to extract the top quark mass, both in the pole and in the $\bar{\mathrm{MS}}$ scheme, from the top quark pair production cross section measured in the dilepton final state. The analysed dataset…
We discuss the direct determination of the running top-quark mass from measurements of the total cross section of hadronic top-quark pair-production. The theory predictions in the MSbar scheme are very stable under scale variations and show…
The ratio $\Delta m_K/m_K$ within the standard model with 3 generations is calculated as a function of the CP nonconserving phase $\delta_{13}$ and the quark masses $m_c,m_t$ assuming the current values of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa…
We study effective energies of heavy-light meson correlation functions in lattice QCD and a small volume of (0.2 fm)^4 to non-perturbatively calculate their dependence on the heavy quark mass in the continuum limit. Our quenched results…
The top quark mass measurements are based either on a direct kinematic reconstruction of the top quark decay products or on indirect measurements, where an observable sensitive to the top quark mass, such as the production cross section, is…
A formula for an improved spin--dependent potential between a heavy quark and a heavy antiquark was developed using Heavy Quark Effective Theory techniques. The leading logarithmic quark mass terms emerging from loop contributions were…
The influence of nonvanishing quark masses on the total cross section in electron positron collisions and on the $Z$ decay rate is calculated. The corrections are expanded in $m^2/s$ and $\as$. Methods similar to those applied for the…
I review the current status of lattice calculations of light and heavy quark masses. Significant progresses, in these studies, have been allowed by the introduction of improved actions and non-perturbative renormalization techniques.…
Recent results from lattice QCD simulations provide a realistic picture, based upon first principles, of~$\Upsilon$ physics. We combine these results with the experimentally measured mass of the $\Upsilon$~meson to obtain an accurate and…

We assume that all quark and lepton mass matrices have upper triangular form. Using all available experimental data on quark and lepton masses and mixing angles we make a fit in which we determine mass matrices elements. There are too many…
The quark-mass dependence of the $N^*(920)$ pole is analyzed using $K$-matrix method, with the $\pi N$ scattering amplitude calculated up to $O(p^3)$ order in chiral perturbation theory. As the quark mass increases, the $N^*(920)$ pole…
