Clover improvement for stout-smeared 2+1 flavour SLiNC fermions: perturbative results

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2010-01-21 v1

Abstract

For the Stout Link Non-perturbative Clover (SLiNC) action we determine in one-loop lattice perturbation theory the critical hopping parameter κc\kappa_c and the clover parameter cSWc_{SW} which is needed for O(a)\mathcal{O}(a) improvement. Performing this calculation off-shell we are also able to compute the non gauge invariant quark field improvement coefficient cNGIc_{NGI}. Additionally, we present first results for the renormalization factors of the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial vector currents. We discuss mean field improvement for the SLiNC action.
