On tadpole improvement for staggered fermions

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

An explanation is proposed for the fact that Lepage--Mackenzie tadpole improvement does not work well for staggered fermions. The idea appears to work for all renormalization constants which appear in the staggered fermion self-energy. Wilson fermions are also discussed.
