Using recently evaluated contributions (including a novel one calculated here), we present updated values for the pole mass and $\bar{MS}$ mass of the $b$ quark: $m_b=5022\pm58$ MeV, for the pole mass, and $\bar{m}_b(\bar{m}_b)=4286\pm36$…
We present a new measurement of the bottom quark mass in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme at the renormalization scale of the Higgs boson mass from measurements of Higgs boson decay rates at the LHC: $m_b(m_H)= 2.60^{+0.36}_{-0.31}$ GeV. The…

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…
The QCD sum rules for moments of production cross section of $b \overline b$ states in $e^+\,e^-$ annihilation are extremely sensitive to the values of $m_b$ and $\alpha_s$ for moments of large order $n$. This enables one to extract from…

We present a consistent analysis of $\Upsilon$ sum rules and $B$-meson semileptonic width in the next-to-next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant. The analysis is based on the analytical result for the heavy quark vector…
This contribution attempts to determine the $b$-quark pole mass $M_b$ and \MSbar running mass $\overline{m}_b$ with two different approaches at the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections. At the first approach, we derive a…
We summarize recent results obtained in [1] on the running m_{c,b}(m_{c,b}) in the MS scheme and f_{D_(s), B_(s)} using QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) known to N2LO PT series, including all dimension-six NP condensate contributions in the…

We determine the bottom quark mass from non-relativistic large-n Upsilon sum rules with renormalization group improvement at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order. We compute the theoretical moments within the vNRQCD formalism and…
We demonstrate that Borel QCD sum rules for heavy-light currents entail a very strong correlation between the $b$-quark mass $m_b$ and the $B$-meson decay constant $f_B,$ that is, $\delta f_B/f_B\approx-8\delta m_b/m_b.$ By starting from…
We present results for the mass of the $b$ quark in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme obtained by calculating the binding energy of the $B$ meson in the static limit. The self energy of a static quark, $E_0^\infty$ needed for this purpose, is now known…
