Determination of the strange quark mass from Cabibbo-suppressed tau decays with resummed perturbation theory in an effective scheme

Abstract

We present an analysis of the m_s^2-corrections to Cabibbo-suppressed tau lepton decays employing contour improved resummation within an effective scheme which is an essential new feature as compared to previous analyses. The whole perturbative QCD dynamics of the tau-system is described by the beta-function of the effective coupling constant and by two gamma-functions for the effective mass parameters of the strange quark in different spin channels. We analyze the stability of our results with regard to high-order terms in the perturbative expansion of the renormalization group functions. A numerical value for the strange quark mass in the MS scheme is extracted m_s(M_τ)=130\pm 27_{exp}\pm 9_{th} MeV. After running to the scale 1 GeV this translates into m_s(1 GeV)=176 \pm 37_{exp}\pm 13_{th} MeV.
