An investigation on the b quark mass
Fabrizio Palla (INFN-Pisa)
TL;DR
This paper reviews measurements of the b quark mass from ALEPH and DELPHI, highlighting observed effects of mass running despite significant systematic uncertainties affecting the precise determination.
Contribution
It provides a summary of experimental results on the b quark mass and discusses the challenges in accurately measuring its running due to systematic errors.
Findings
Clear evidence of b quark mass running effects
Large systematic errors hinder precise average value extraction
Experimental results show consistency with theoretical expectations
Abstract
In this article I will review the measurements of the b quark mass performed by ALEPH and DELPHI and presented at the HEP99 Conference in Tampere. Very clean effects of the mass running are observed, even if a wide spread in the results and large systematic errors due to hadronization corrections prevent to extract an average value of the running b quark mass.
