We present new results for light quark masses. The calculations are performed using two flavours of $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions. We have reached lattice spacings as small as $a \sim 0.07$fm and pion masses down to $m_{\pi} \sim 340$MeV…
In the low energy effective theory describing the partially quenched extension of two light Wilson fermions, three low energy constants (LECs) appear in terms proportional to a^2 (a being the lattice spacing). We propose methods to…
