====== TTP07-38 Precise charm and bottom quark masses ======
 
 
<hidden TTP07-38  Precise charm and bottom quark masses > New data for the total cross section
 $\sigma(e^+e^-\to\mbox{hadrons})$ in the charm and bottom threshold
 region are combined with an improved theoretical analysis, which
 includes recent four-loop calculations, to determine the
 short distance MSbar charm and bottom quark masses.
 The final result for the  MSbar-masses,
 m_c(3 GeV) = 0.986(13) GeV
 and
 m_b(10 GeV) = 3.609(25) GeV
 is consistent with but significantly more precise than a similar previous
 study.
