Lattice quark masses: a non-perturbative measurement

Abstract

We discuss the renormalization of different definitions of quark masses in the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover fermionic action. For the improved case we give the correct relationship between the quark mass and the hopping parameter. Using perturbative and non-perturbative renormalization constants, we extract quark masses in the $\text{MSbar}$ scheme from Lattice QCD in the quenched approximation at $\beta =6.0$, $\beta =6.2$ and $\beta =6.4$ for both actions. We find: ${\bar{m}}^{\text{MSbar}}(2GeV)=5.7\pm 0.1\pm 0.8$ MeV, $m_s^{\text{MSbar}}(2GeV)=130\pm 2\pm 18$ MeV and $m_c^{\text{MSbar}}(2GeV)=1662\pm 30\pm 230$ MeV.
