The charm quark mass with dynamical fermions

Abstract
We compute the charm quark mass in lattice QCD and compare different formulations of the heavy quark, and quenched data to that with dynamical sea quarks. We take the continuum limit of the quenched data by extrapolating from three different lattice spacings, and compare to data with two flavours of dynamical sea quarks with a mass around the strange at the coarsest lattice spacing. Both the FNAL and ALPHA formalism are used. We find the different heavy quark formulations have the same continuum limit in the quenched approximation, and limited evidence that this approximation overestimates the charm quark mass.
