We approximately compute the normalization constant of the first infrared renormalon of the pole mass (and the singlet static potential). Estimates of higher order terms in the perturbative relation between the pole mass and the $\MS$ mass…
We update our perturbative determination of MSbar bottom quark mass mb(mb), by including the recently obtained four-loop coefficient in the relation between the pole and MSbar mass. First the renormalon subtracted (RS or RS') mass is…
We obtain an improved determination of the normalization constant of the first infrared renormalon of the pole mass (and the singlet static potential). For $N_f=3$ it reads $N_m=0.563(26)$. Charm quark effects in the bottom quark mass…
We extract MSbar quark masses mqbar (q=b,c) from the evaluation of the masses of quarkonia Upsilon(1S) and J/\psi(1S), performed in two analytic QCD models, and in perturbative QCD in two renormalization schemes. In analytic QCD the running…
The Borel summation technique of infrared renormalons is applied to the lattice determination of heavy quark mass. With Borel summation a physical heavy quark pole mass and binding energy of a heavy-light meson can be defined in a rigorous…
It had been known that the Borel transforms of the twice quark pole mass 2*mq and of the QCD q-barq static potential V(r) have leading infrared renormalons at b=1/2 such that they cancel in the sum. The renormalon residue of 2*mq had been…
Employing the heavy quark pole mass and static potential that were obtained from resummation of the renormalon-caused large order behavior to all orders, and matching the resummed static potential to the long distance Cornell potential we…
The talk presents an update of the bottom quark mass determination from QCD moment sum rules for the Upsilon system by the authors. Employing the MS_bar scheme, we find m_b(m_b) = 4.19 +- 0.06 GeV. The differences to our previous analysis…
We calculate the mass difference between the $\Upsilon$ and $\eta_b$ and the $\Upsilon$ leptonic width from lattice QCD using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism for the $b$ quark and including $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks in the…
The bottom quark 1S mass, $M_b^{1S}$, is determined using sum rules which relate the masses and the electronic decay widths of the $\Upsilon$ mesons to moments of the vacuum polarization function. The 1S mass is defined as half the…
The heavy quark pole mass in perturbation theory suffers from a renormalon caused, inherent uncertainty of $O(\Lambda_{\rm QCD})$. This fundamental difficulty of determining the pole mass to an accuracy better than the inherent uncertainty…
Combining recent perturbative analyses on the static QCD potential and the quark pole mass, we find that, for the heavy quarkonium states $c\bar{c}$, $b\bar{b}$ and $t\bar{t}$, (1) ultra-soft (US) corrections in the binding energies are…
We use the ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^3)$ approximation of the heavy-quark vacuum polarization function in the threshold region to determine the bottom quark mass from nonrelativistic $\Upsilon$ sum rules. We find very good stability and…

The mass of the bottom quark and the strong coupling constant alpha_s are determined from QCD moment sum rules for the Upsilon system. Two analyses are performed using both the pole mass M_b as well as the mass m_b in the $\MSb$ scheme. In…
We study the uncertainties in the MSbar bottom quark mass determination using relativistic sum rules to O(alpha_S^2). We include charm mass effects and secondary b bbar production and treat the experimental continuum region more…
We present a fully non-perturbative computation of the mass of the b-quark in the quenched approximation. Our strategy starts from the matching of HQET to QCD in a finite volume and finally relates the quark mass to the spin averaged mass…
Theoretical predictions for B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the Upsilon(1S) meson mass instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion. The theoretical consistency of this expansion is shown both at low and high…
