Abstract

We provide a new determination of the charm quark mass using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action, finding mMS c (3GeV) = 0.983(23)GeV. Our determination makes extensive use of second order lattice perturbation theory in matching the bare lattice mass to the MS scheme. This matching utilises both traditional diagrammatic perturbation theory and weak coupling simulations. The second of these techniques allows us to extract perturbative coefficients from Monte-Carlo simulations and the process of doing this is laid out in some detail here.
