abstract

We compute the relation between the pole mass and the kinetic mass of a heavy quark to three loops. Using the known relation between the pole and the $\overline{\rm MS}$ mass we obtain precise conversion relations between the $\overline{\rm MS}$ and kinetic masses. The kinetic mass is defined via the moments of the spectral function for the scattering involving a heavy quark close to threshold. This requires the computation of the imaginary part of a forward scattering amplitude up to three-loop order. We discuss in detail the expansion procedure and the reduction to master integrals. For the latter analytic results are provided. We apply our result both to charm and bottom quark masses. In the latter case we compute and include finite charm quark mass effects. Furthermore, we determine the large-$\beta_0$ result for the conversion formula at four-loop order. For the bottom quark we estimate the uncertainty in the conversion between the $\overline{\rm MS}$ and kinetic masses to about 15 MeV which is an improvement by a factor two to three as compared to the two-loop formula. The improved precision is crucial for the extraction of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ at Belle II.

  1. Total decay rates of $B$ mesons at NNLO-QCD

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    At NNLO in QCD, the heavy quark expansion predicts the B+, Bd, and Bs decay widths and semileptonic branching fractions within experimental uncertainties, with a systematic 4% shortfall in the central width values.

  2. Predictions for $b$-baryon lifetimes at NNLO-QCD

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    NNLO-QCD corrections to the free b-quark decay and NLO corrections to dimension-five operators reduce uncertainties in HQE predictions for b-baryon lifetimes, yielding excellent agreement with experiment.

  3. Current-current operator contribution to the decay matrix in $B$-meson mixing at next-to-next-to-leading order of QCD

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The full charm-mass dependence of the three-loop current-current contribution to the B-meson decay matrix is computed, yielding Delta_Gamma_s = (0.077 +/- 0.016) ps^-1 with the leading-term perturbative error reduced ...

    Analytic HQE moments for inclusive B to X_c l nu are extended to O(Lambda^5/m_b^5), including q^2 moments with a lepton-energy cut, and a CLEO data tension is identified.
