We use lattice QCD simulations, with MILC gluon configurations and HISQ c-quark propagators, to make very precise determinations of moments of charm-quark pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector correlators. These moments are combined with…

We present our preliminary result for the charmed quark mass, which follows from taking the D_s and K meson masses from experiment and r0=0.5 fm (or, equivalently F_K=160 MeV) to set the scale. For the renormalization group invariant quark…

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 determine the mass of the bottom quark from high moments of the bottom production cross section in e+ e- annihilation, which are dominated by the threshold region. On the theory side next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (NNNLO)…

From the fact that the nonperturbative self-energy contribution $C_{\rm SE}$ to the heavy meson mass is small: $C_{\rm SE}(b\bar{b})=0$; $C_{\rm SE}(c\bar{c})\cong -40$ MeV \cite{ref.01}, strong restrictions on the pole masses $m_b$ and…

The MSbar charm quark mass is determined to be m_c(m_c)=1224+-17+-54 MeV from a global fit to inclusive B meson decay data, where the first error is experimental, and includes the uncertainty in alpha_s, and the second is an estimate of…

QCD sum rules involving mixed inverse moment integration kernels are used in order to determine the running charm-quark mass in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme. Both the high and the low energy expansion of the vector current correlator are involved…

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…
