We present an update on the determination of the leading-order hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment in isospin-symmetric QCD by the Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration. The calculation is based on…
We propose a method to improve lattice operators composed of Wilson fermions which allows the removal of all corrections of $O(a)$, including those proportional to the quark mass. It requires off-shell improvement of quark fields and…

Heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) is applied to lattice QCD with Wilson fermions at fixed lattice spacing a. This description is possible because heavy-quark symmetries are respected. It is desirable because the ultraviolet cutoff $1/a$…
We present O(g^4) calculations of both planar and non-planar Wilson loops for various actions in the presence of sea quarks. In particular, the plaquette, the static potential and the static self energy are calculated to this order for…

A pedagogical introduction to the heavy quark theory is given. It is explained that various expansions in the inverse heavy quark mass $1/m_Q$ present a version of the Wilson operator product expansion in QCD. A systematic approach is…
We compute the nonperturbative quark mass RG-running in the range $\Lambda_{QCD}\lessapprox\mu\lessapprox M_W$ for $N_f=3$ massless QCD with a mixed action approach: sea quarks are regularised using nonperturbatively $O(a)$-improved Wilson…

QCD is investigated at finite temperature using Wilson fermions in the fixed scale approach. A 2+1 flavor stout and clover improved action is used at four lattice spacings allowing for control over discretization errors. The light quark…
We present a lattice QCD determination of light quark masses with three sea-quark flavours ($N_f = 2+1$). Bare quark masses are known from PCAC relations in the framework of CLS lattice computations with a non-perturbatively improved…
Unphysical effects associated with finite lattice spacing and partial quenching generally lead to to the presence of unphysical terms in chiral extrapolation formulae, which must be removed to make physical predictions. We use mixed action…
We describe the first steps in the extension of the Symanzik O($a$) improvement program for Wilson-type quark actions to anisotropic lattices, with a temporal lattice spacing smaller than the spatial one. This provides a fully relativistic…
We present an exploratory study of leading isospin breaking effects in mesonic masses using $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions. Isospin symmetry is explicitly broken by distinct masses and electric charges of the up and down quarks. In order…
A first study of numerical Monte Carlo simulations with two quark doublets, a mass-degenerate one and a mass-split one, interpreted as u, d, s and c quarks, is carried out in the framework of the twisted mass Wilson lattice formulation.…
