Highly Improved Naive and Staggered Fermions

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We present a new action for highly improved staggered fermions. We show that perturbative calculations for the new action are well-behaved where those of the conventional staggered action are badly behaved. We discuss the effects of the new terms in controlling flavor mixing, and discuss the design of operators for the action.
