Abstract
We explore the properties of the bottom-quark on-shell mass(Mb)by using its relation to the(M)(S)mass((m)b).At present,this (M)(S)-on-shell relation has been known up to four-loop QCD corrections,which however still has a~2%scale uncertainty by taking the renormalization scale as (m)b(m)b)and varying it within the usual range of[(m)b((m)b)/2,2(m)b((m)b)].The principle of maximum conformality(PMC)is adopted to achieve a more precise MS-on-shell relation by eliminating such scale uncertainty.As a step forward,we also estimate the magnitude of the uncalculated higher-order terms by using the Padé approximation approach.Numerically,by using the MS mass(m)b((m)b)=4.183±0.007GeV as an input,our predicted value for the bottom-quark on-shell mass becomes Mb(≌)5.372+-0.091/0.075 GeV,where the uncertainty is the squared average of the ones caused by △αs(Mz),△(m)b((m)b),and the estimated magnitude of the higher-order terms.
