We present a QCD sum-rule determination of the heavy-quark kinetic energy inside a heavy meson, $-\lambda_1/2 m_Q$, which is consistent with the field-theory analog of the virial theorem. We obtain $-\lambda_1\approx (0.10\pm…
Lattice results and Dual QCD results for all heavy quark potentials through order (quark mass)^${-2}$ are exhibited and compared. The agreement on the whole is quite good, confirming the validity of Dual QCD. NOTE: (The only important…
The decay of a light Higgs boson to bottom quarks is dominant and can be exploited for the discovery of the Higgs particle and the measurement of its properties at the LHC and future collider experiments. We perform a first computation of…
We extend HPQCD's earlier $n_f=4$ lattice-QCD analysis of the ratio of $\overline{\mathrm{MSB}}$ masses of the $b$ and $c$ quark to include results from finer lattices (down to 0.03fm) and a new calculation of QED contributions to the mass…
We compute the order $\alpha_s^2$ QCD corrections to the $b$-quark forward-backward asymmetry in $e^+e^-\to b{\bar b}$ collisions at the $Z$ boson resonance, taking the non-zero mass of the $b$ quark into account. We determine these…
In this article, we recalculate the contributions of all vacuum condensates up to dimension-6, in particular the one-loop corrections to the quark condensates $\alpha_s<\bar{q}q>$ and partial one-loop corrections to the four-quark…
The results of analytical evaluation of $O(\alpha_s^2)$ QCD contributions due to the nonvanishing quark masses to $\Gamma_{H\rightarrow q_f\overline{q}_f}$ are presented. The ``triangle anomaly'' type contributions are included. As a…
A fully non-perturbative lattice determination of the up/down and strange quark masses is given for quenched QCD using both, $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions and ordinary Wilson fermions. For the strange quark mass with $O(a)$ improved…
The light quark masses are determined using a new QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) in the pseudoscalar channel. This FESR involves an integration kernel designed to reduce considerably the contribution of the (unmeasured) hadronic…
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…
Correlations between the QCD coupling \alpha_s, the gluon condensate < \alpha_s G^2 >, and the c,b-quark running masses m_c,b in the MS-scheme are explicitly studied (for the first time) from the (axial-)vector and (pseudo)scalar charmonium…
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…
The mass of the top quark M_top is interesting both as a fundamental parameter of the standard model and as an important input to precision electroweak tests. The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) has a robust program of top quark mass…
A method of indirect measurement of the light quark running mass $\hat{m} = (m_d + m_u)/2$ is elaborated in detail. It is based on measuring 1\%-level azimuthal angular asymmetries in the decay $\tau \rightarrow \nu_\tau + 3\pi$. The latter…
It has long been known that no physical singularity is encountered as up quark mass is adjusted from small positive to negative values as long as all other quarks remain massive. This is tied to an additive ambiguity in the definition of…
We compute the mass of the b-quark and the B_s meson decay constant in quenched lattice QCD using a combination of HQET and the standard relativistic QCD Lagrangian. We start from a small volume, where one can directly deal with the…
We study the spectra of the bottomonium and B_c states within perturbative QCD up to order alpha_s^4. The O(Lambda_QCD) renormalon cancellation between the static potential and the pole mass is performed in the epsilon-expansion scheme. We…
We summarize the top-quark mass measurements from the CDF and D0 experiments at Fermilab. We combine published Run-I measurements with the most recent Run-II measurements. Taking correlated uncertainties into account the resulting…
We compute the electromagnetic mass differences of mesons containing a single heavy quark in terms of measurable data using QCD-based arguments in heavy-quark effective theory. We derive an unsubtracted dispersion relation that shows that…
The parameters in the pseudoscalar meson mass formula in quenched chiral perturbation theory to one-loop order are determined by quenched lattice QCD with overlap Dirac operator, and from which the light quark masses are determined with the…
