Popis: | In this paper, we explore the properties of the bottom-quark on-shell mass ($M_b$) by using its relation to the $\overline{\rm MS}$ mass (${\overline m}_b$). At present, this $\overline{\rm MS}$-on-shell relation has been known up to four-loop QCD corrections, which however still has a $\sim 2\%$ scale uncertainty by taking the renormalization scale as ${\overline m}_b({\overline m}_b)$ and varying it within the usual range of $[{\overline m}_b({\overline m}_b)/2, 2 {\overline m}_b({\overline m}_b)]$. The principle of maximum conformality (PMC) has been adopted to achieve a more precise $\overline{\rm MS}$-on-shell relation by eliminating such scale uncertainty. As a step forward, we also estimate the magnitude of the uncalculated higher-order terms by using the Pad\'{e} approximation approach. Numerically, by using the $\overline{\rm MS}$ mass ${\overline m}_b({\overline m}_b)=4.18^{+0.03}_{-0.02}$ GeV as an input, our predicted value for the bottom-quark on-shell mass becomes $M_b\simeq 5.36^{+0.10}_{-0.07}$ GeV, where the uncertainty is the squared average of the ones caused by $\Delta \alpha_s(M_Z)$, $\Delta {\overline m}_b({\overline m}_b)$, and the estimated magnitude of the higher-order terms.
