Abstract

In these proceedings we discuss the relation between the kinetic and the on-shell schemes for the bottom and the charm quarks and present the methods for the calculation of the mass relation to higher orders in perturbative QCD. The bottom mass in the kinetic scheme is a pivotal input parameter in the inclusive determination of |V_{cb}||Vcb| from B\to X_c \ell \nu_\ellB→Xcℓνℓ decays. By combining the relation between the kinetic and the on-shell mass with well-know results for the \overline{\mathrm{MS}}MS¯-on-shell conversion, we obtain a prediction for m_b^\mathrm{kin}mbkin based on precise determinations of \overline{m}_b(\overline{m}_b)m¯b(m¯b).
