On the difference between the pole and the MSbar masses of the top quark
at the electroweak scale    [PDF]

Fred Jegerlehner, Mikhail Yu. Kalmykov, Bernd A. Kniehl

We argue that for a Higgs boson mass M_H ~ 125 GeV, as estimated from recent Higgs searches at the LHC, the inclusion of the electroweak radiative corrections in the relationship between the pole and MSbar masses of the top quark reduces the difference to about 1 GeV. This fact is relevant for the scheme dependence of electroweak observables as well as for the extraction of the top quark mass from experimental data
