One of the most popular definition for the charm-quark mass is the charm-quark pole mass $m_c^{\rm pole}$. In this contribution, we extract the charm-quark pole mass through perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (pQCD) analysis up to the…
Significant progress has been made in the determination of the light quark masses, using both lattice QCD and sum rule methods, in the last year. We discuss the different methods and review the status of current results. Finally, we review…

We study on the lattice the correlator of heavy-quark currents in the vicinity of vanishing momentum. The renormalized charmed quark mass, the renormalized strong coupling constant and gluon condensate can be defined in terms of the…

A novel Lattice QCD (LQCD) method to determine the quark-diquark ($q$-$D$) interaction potential together with the diquark mass ($m_D$) is proposed. Similar to the HAL QCD method, $q$-$D$ potential is determined by demanding it to reproduce…
We present results for the light quark masses for the Wilson quark action obtained with the PCAC relation for the one-link extended axial vector current in quenched QCD at $\beta=5.9-6.5$. This method leads to a remarkable improvement of…
We determine the masses of the light and the strange quarks in the $\bar{MS}$-scheme using our high-statistics lattice simulation of QCD with dynamical Wilson fermions. For the light quark mass we find $m^{light}_{\bar{MS}}(2 GeV) = 2.7(2)…
We study the shift in the $\Upsilon$ mass due to a non-zero charm quark mass. This shift affects the value of the $\bar{\rm MS}$ $b$-quark mass extracted from the $\Upsilon$ system by about -20 MeV, due to an incomplete cancellation of…

We compute the mass spectrum for strange/charmed baryons in the partially quenched approach using N_f=2 twisted mass QCD configurations. We investigate two main issues: the size of lattice artefacts using three values of the lattice spacing…

Assuming that the number densities of heavy flavor in hadron gas and in QGP are same at $T_c$, we obtain the effective mass of heavy quark at $T_c$ from the comparison with the hadron resonance gas model which well describes particle yield…

We perform a lattice study of heavy baryons, containing one ($\Lambda_b$) or two $b$-quarks ($\Xi_b$). Using the quenched approximation we obtain for the mass of $\Lambda_b$ $$ M_{\Lambda_b}= 5.728 \pm 0.144 \pm 0.018 {\rm GeV}.$$ The mass…
