Determination of m¯b/m¯c and m¯b from nf=4 lattice QCD+QED

We extend HPQCD's earlier ${n}_{f}=2+1+1$ lattice-QCD analysis of the ratio of $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ masses of the $b$ and $c$ quark to include results from finer lattices (down to 0.03 fm) and a new calculation of QED contributions to the mass ratio. We find that ${\overline{m}}_{b}(\ensuremath{\mu})/{\overline{m}}_{c}(\ensuremath{\mu})=4.586(12)$ at renormalization scale $\ensuremath{\mu}=3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$. This result is nonperturbative. Combining it with HPQCD's recent lattice $\mathrm{QCD}+\mathrm{QED}$ determination of ${\overline{m}}_{c}(3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV})$ gives a new value for the $b$-quark mass: ${\overline{m}}_{b}(3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV})=4.513(2…

Bottomonium precision tests from full lattice QCD: Hyperfine splitting, Υ leptonic width, and b quark contribution to e+e− → hadrons

We calculate the mass difference between the \ud Υ\ud and \ud η\ud b\ud and the \ud Υ\ud leptonic width from lattice QCD using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism for the \ud b\ud quark and including \ud u\ud , \ud d\ud , \ud s\ud and \ud c\ud quarks in the sea. We have results for lattices with lattice spacing as low as 0.03 fm and multiple heavy quark masses, enabling us to map out the heavy quark mass dependence and determine values at the \ud b\ud quark mass. Our results are: \ud M\ud Υ\ud −\ud M\ud η\ud b\ud =\ud 57.5\ud (\ud 2.3\ud )\ud (\ud 1.0\ud )\ud M\ud e\ud V\ud (where the second uncertainty comes from neglect of quark-line disconnected correlation functions) and decay…

Bottomonium precision tests from full lattice QCD: Hyperfine splitting, ϒ leptonic width, and b quark contribution to e+e−→hadrons

We calculate the mass difference between the $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Upsilon}}$ and ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{b}$ and the $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Upsilon}}$ leptonic width from lattice QCD using the highly improved staggered quark formalism for the $b$ quark and including $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks in the sea. We have results for lattices with lattice spacing as low as 0.03 fm and multiple heavy quark masses, enabling us to map out the heavy quark mass dependence and determine values at the $b$ quark mass. Our results are ${M}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Upsilon}}}\ensuremath{-}{M}_{{\ensuremath{\eta}}_{b}}=57.5(2.3)(1.0)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$ (where the second uncertainty comes from neglect of …

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the Standard Model

We are very grateful to the Fermilab Directorate and the Fermilab Theoretical Physics Department for their financial and logistical support of the first workshop of the Muon g -2 Theory Initiative (held near Fermilab in June 2017) [123], which was crucial for its success, and indeed for the successful start of the Initiative. Financial support for this workshop was also provided by the Fermilab Distinguished Scholars program, the Universities Research Association through a URA Visiting Scholar award, the Riken Brookhaven Research Center, and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science under Grant No. KAKEHNHI-17H02906. We thank Shoji Hashimoto, Toru Iijima, Takashi Kaneko, and Shohei Nis…
