Model independent determination of QCD quark masses

  • 1. Mainz Univ. (Germany, F.R.). Inst. fuer Physik

Description

The method of approximate analytic continuation by duality (ACD), which permits to extrapolate a two-point function from its asymptotic QCD form down to Q2 = 0, is used to determine the value of the light quark masses in QCD. For the value of the four-quark condensate advocated by Shifman, Vainshtein and Zakharov we obtain (msub(u) + msub(d)) = (21 +- 2) MeV at Q2 = 1 GeV2. (orig.)
