It is shown how on-shell O(a) improvement can be implemented non-perturbatively in lattice QCD with Wilson quarks. Improvement conditions are obtained by requiring the PCAC relation to hold exactly in certain matrix elements. These are…

It has been shown that in the twisted mass formulation of Lattice QCD at maximal twist large cutoff effects are generated when the quark mass becomes of O(a Lambda_QCD^2). In general, these effects can be suppressed in two ways: either by…
We present and discuss results for cutoff effects in the PCAC masses and the mass dependence of r_0 for full QCD and various fermion actions. Our discussion of how one computes mass dependences - here of r_0 - is also relevant for…
