abstract

We extend HPQCD's earlier $n_f=4$ lattice-QCD analysis of the ratio of $\overline{\mathrm{MSB}}$ masses of the $b$ and $c$ quark to include results from finer lattices (down to 0.03fm) and a new calculation of QED contributions to the mass ratio. We find that $\overline{m}_b(\mu)/\overline{m}_c(\mu)=4.586(12)$ at renormalization scale $\mu=3$\,GeV. This result is nonperturbative. Combining it with HPQCD's recent lattice QCD$+$QED determination of $\overline{m}_c(3\mathrm{GeV})$ gives a new value for the $b$-quark mass: $\overline{m}_b(3\mathrm{GeV}) = 4.513(26)$GeV. The $b$-mass corresponds to $\overline{m}_b(\overline{m}_b, n_f=5) = 4.202(21)$GeV. These results are the first based on simulations that include QED.
