The relation between the on-shell quark mass and the mass defined in the modified minimal subtraction scheme is computed up to order \alpha_s^3. Implications for the numerical values of the top and bottom quark masses are discussed. We show…

We present a precise lattice QCD determination of the b-quark mass, of the B and Bs decay constants and first results for the B-meson bag parameters. For our computation we employ the so-called ratio method and our results benefit from the…

We compute the two-loop term in the perturbation series for the quark-mass in the lattice Heavy Quark Effective Theory. This is an ingredient in the matching factor required to obtain the $b$-quark mass from lattice simulations of the HQET.…

I review the current status of lattice calculations of light and heavy quark masses. Significant progresses, in these studies, have been allowed by the introduction of improved actions and non-perturbative renormalization techniques.…

Rare two-body decays of the top quark into a neutral bottom-quark meson plus an up- or charm-quark: $t\to {\overline B}^0+ u, c$; $t\to {\overline B}^0_{s}+ c,u$; and $t \to \Upsilon(nS)+ c,u$, are studied for the first time. The…

Heavy hadrons containing heavy quarks (for example, Upsilon-mesons) feature a scale separation between the heavy quark mass (about 4.5 GeV for the b-quark) and the QCD scale (about 0.3 GeV}) that controls effective masses of lighter…

The key quantity of the heavy quark theory is the quark mass $m_Q$. Since quarks are unobservable one can suggest different definitions of $m_Q$. One of the most popular choices is the pole quark mass routinely used in perturbative…

The Standard Model (SM) prediction for the \PZ-boson pole $b$-quark forward-backward (FB) asymmetry is: $(A_{FB}^{0,b})_{th} = 0.1030 \pm 0.0002$. The LEP electron-positron collider measured instead $A_{FB}^{0,b} = 0.0992 \pm 0.0016$, value…

We present a sum-rule extraction of the decay constants of the D, Ds, B, and Bs mesons from the two-point correlator of heavy-light pseudoscalar currents [1]. Our main emphasis is laid on the control over the uncertainties in the decay…

Axial-vector hadronic molecules $\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{AV}}=\Upsilon B_{c}^{-} $ and $\widetilde{\mathcal{M}}_{\mathrm{AV}}=\eta_{b}B_{c}^{\ast -} $ with the quark content $bb \overline{b}\overline{c}$ are studied using QCD sum rule method.…

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 report two measurements of the top quark mass M_top using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in a 318 pb^-1 data sample observed in the lepton + jets final state. One method uses an event-based likelihood technique resulting in…

The $\Upsilon$ and $\eta_b$ as well as $B^*$ meson mass shifts (scalar potentials) are estimated for the first time in symmetric nuclear matter. The main interest is, whether or not the strengths of the bottomonium-nuclear matter and…

The spectrum of the Upsilon system is investigated using the Nonrelativistic Lattice QCD approach to heavy quarks and ignoring light quark vacuum polarization. We find good agreement with experiment for the Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S),…

In this paper, we calculate the $t\bar{t}$ pQCD production cross-section at NNLO and determine the top-quark pole mass from recent measurements at the LHC at $\sqrt{S}=13$ TeV center-of-mass energy to high precision by applying the…

I give a short historical and a critical review of the determinations of light quark masses from QCD at dawn of the next millennium. QCD spectral sum rules combined with ChPT give, to order $\alpha_s^3$, the world average for the running…

We improve the theoretical predictions for the decays of the Higgs boson to an $S$-wave vector quarkonium plus a photon by calculating the relativistic correction of order $v^2$, where $v$ is the heavy-quark velocity in the quarkonium rest…

This talk reviews the progress made in the determination of the light quark masses using lattice QCD and QCD sum rules. Based on preliminary calculations with three flavors of dynamical quarks, the lattice estimate is $m_s = 75(15)$ MeV, a…

The production rate of bottom quarks at hadron colliders exceeds the expectations of next-to-leading order perturbative quantum chromodynamics. An additional contribution from pair-production of light gluinos, of mass 12 to 16 GeV, with…

The relativistic string Hamiltonian is used to calculate the masses and decay constants of $B_q$ mesons: they appear to be expressed through onlythree fundamental values: the string tension $\sigma $, $\alpha_s$, and the quark pole masses.…
