A dynamic mass definition near the t t-bar threshold

Abstract

Starting from general considerations about the different concepts which exist for the definition of the quark mass near the pair production threshold, we introduce the definition of a mass with a dynamic degree of freedom that extends the previously given concept of the static PS mass.
