Description

The value of the bottom quark mass at Q=MZ in the DR scheme is an important input for the analysis of supersymmetric models with a large value of tan β. Conventionally, however, the running bottom quark mass extracted from experimental data is quoted in the MS scheme at the scale Q=mb. We describe a two loop procedure for the conversion of the bottom quark mass from the MS to DR scheme. The Particle Data Group value mbMS(mbMS)=4.2±0.2 GeV corresponds to a range of 2.65-3.03 GeV for mbDR(MZ)
