The Light Quark Masses with the Wilson Quark Action using Chiral Ward Identities

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We present results for the light quark masses for the Wilson quark action obtained with the PCAC relation for the one-link extended axial vector current in quenched QCD at β=5.96.5\beta=5.9-6.5. This method leads to a remarkable improvement of scaling behavior of the light quark masses compared to the conventional method. We obtain mˉl=3.87(37){\bar m}_l=3.87(37)MeV for the averaged up and down quark mass and mˉs=97(9){\bar m}_s=97(9)MeV for the strange quark mass in the \barMS{\barMS} scheme at μ=2\mu=2GeV.
