The Brillouin action is a Wilson-like lattice fermion action with a 81-point stencil, which was found to ameliorate the Wilson action in many respects. The Sheikholeslami-Wohlert coefficient $c_\mathrm{SW}$ of the clover improvement term…

We performed a rough estimate of the non-perturbative value of the clover term coefficient cSW for the APE stout link Wilson fermion. We varied the number of smearings from Nsmear=1 to 6 and adopted beta values roughly corresponding to the…
Wilson-like Dirac operators can be written in the form $D=\gamma_\mu\nabla_\mu-\frac {ar}{2} \Delta$. For Wilson fermions the standard two-point derivative $\nabla_\mu^{(\mathrm{std})}$ and 9-point Laplacian $\Delta^{(\mathrm{std})}$ are…

The charm-quark mass is typically not so far from the cutoff 1/a in lattice simulations. Its determinant may then potentially introduce large cutoff effects. We choose the O(a)-improved Wilson formulation and compute the vacuum polarization…
