Heavy Quark Masses from Lattice QCD — •Georg von Hippel — Institut für Kernphysik, JGU Mainz, Germany

The masses of the charm and bottom quarks are fundamental parameters of the Standard Model. New developments in lattice QCD and effective field theories have allowed determinations of the heavy quark masses with increased accuracy and significantly improved control of systematic errors. I discuss some recent determinations of m_c from lattice QCD with relativistic charm quarks, and of m_b from lattice simulations with bottom quarks described by effective theories (HQET and NRQCD).
