Abstract

We determine quark mass dependent order aa improvement terms of the form bJamb_Jam for non-singlet scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axialvector currents using correlators in coordinate space on a set of CLS ensembles. These have been generated employing non-perturbatively improved Wilson Fermions and the tree-level L\"uscher-Weisz gauge action at β=3.4,3.46,3.55\beta = 3.4, 3.46, 3.55 and 3.73.7, corresponding to lattice spacings ranging from a0.085a \approx 0.085 fm down to 0.050.05 fm. In the Nf=2+1N_f=2+1 flavour theory two types of improvement coefficients exist: bJb_J, proportional to non-singlet quark mass combinations, and bˉJ\bar{b}_J (or b~J\tilde{b}_J), proportional to the trace of the quark mass matrix. Combining our non-perturbative determinations with perturbative results, we quote Pad\'e approximants parameterizing the bJb_J improvement coefficients within the above window of lattice spacings. We also give preliminary results for b~J\tilde{b}_J at β=3.4\beta=3.4.
