We propose a lattice action including unphysical Wilson fermions with a negative mass m_0 of the order of the inverse lattice spacing. With this action, the exact zero mode of the hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator H_W(m_0) cannot appear and…
The ALPHA collaboration has determined the O(a) improved Wilson quark action for lattice spacings $a\leq 0.1$ fm, in the quenched approximation. We extend this result to coarser lattices, $a\leq 0.17$ fm, and calculate the hadron spectrum…
