TTP09-46 Precise Charm- and Bottom-Quark Masses: Recent Developments

Recent theoretical and experimental improvements in the determination of charm- and bottom-quark masses are discussed. The final results, m_c(3 GeV)=986(13) MeV and m_b(m_b)=4163(16) MeV represent the presently most precise determinations of these two fundamental Standard Model parameters.
