Precise determination of the bottom-quark on-shell mass using its four-loop relation to the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$-scheme running mass

Abstract

In this paper, we explore the properties of the bottom-quark on-shell mass ($M_b$) by using its relation to the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ mass (${\overline{m}}_b$). At present, this $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$-on-shell relation has been known up to four-loop QCD corrections, which however still has a $\sim 2\%$ scale uncertainty by taking the renormalization scale as ${\overline{m}}_b({\overline{m}}_b)$ and varying it within the usual range of $[{\overline{m}}_b({\overline{m}}_b)/2,2{\overline{m}}_b({\overline{m}}_b)]$. The principle of maximum conformality (PMC) has been adopted to achieve a more precise $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$-on-shell relation by eliminating such scale uncertainty. As a step forward, we also estimate the magnitude of the uncalculated higher-order terms by using the Padé approximation approach. Numerically, by using the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ mass ${\overline{m}}_b({\overline{m}}_b)=4.183\pm 0.007$ GeV as an input, our predicted value for the bottom-quark on-shell mass becomes $M_b\simeq 5.372_{-0.075}^{+0.091}$ GeV, where the uncertainty is the squared average of the ones caused by $\Delta {\alpha }_s(M_Z)$, $\Delta {\overline{m}}_b({\overline{m}}_b)$, and the estimated magnitude of the higher-order terms.
