Heavy Quark Effective Theory computation of the mass of the bottom quark

Abstract

We present a fully non-perturbative computation of the mass of the b-quark in the quenched approximation. Our strategy starts from the matching of HQET to QCD in a finite volume and finally relates the quark mass to the spin averaged mass of the Bs meson in HQET. All steps include the terms of order Lambda^2/Mb. Expanding on [1], we discuss the computation and renormalization of correlation functions at order 1/Mb. With the strange quark mass fixed from the Kaon mass and the QCD scale set through r0=0.5 fm, we obtain a renormalization group invariant mass Mb = 6.758(86) GeV or mb(mb)= 4.347(48) GeV in the MS-bar scheme. The uncertainty in the computed Lambda^2/Mb terms contributes little to the total error and Lambda^3/Mb^2 terms are negligible. The strategy is promising for full QCD as well as for other B-physics observables.
