Abstract
We evaluate in perturbative QCD, up to order αs4, the mass of the Bc. We use the so-called 1S mass in order to improve the convergence of the perturbative series. Our result is E(Bc)pert=6326-9+29 MeV. Nonperturbative effects are discussed. A comparison with potential models seems to be consistent with nonperturbative contributions of the order -(40-100) MeV.
