Improved flavor symmetry in Kogut-Susskind fermion actions

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

We study improved Kogut-Susskind fermion actions focusing on flavor symmetry restoration. Several variants of fat actions suitable for dynamical simulations are considered, including an action with no tree level order a-squared errors. The spectrum of all the pions is computed and used as a measure of flavor symmetry violation. Finally, the Naik term is introduced to restore rotational symmetry.
