Using a quite accurate flavour-independence of $nS$-level mass differences in heavy quarkonia and a corresponding quasiclassical expression for the heavy quark binding energy, one shows that experimental data on masses of mesons with heavy…
We present preliminary results for the charm quark mass $m_c$ and the $D$ and $D_s$ mesons decay constants $f_D$ and $f_{D_s}$ from a lattice QCD calculation with ${\rm N_f}$ = 2 dynamical fermions. We use the twisted mass fermionic action…
