Abstract: (APS)
We determine quark mass dependent order a improvement terms of the form bJam for nonsinglet scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axialvector currents using correlators in coordinate space on a set of Coordinated Lattice Simulations ensembles. These have been generated employing nonperturbatively improved Wilson fermions and the tree-level Lüscher-Weisz gauge action at β=3.4, 3.46, 3.55 and 3.7, corresponding to lattice spacings ranging from a≈0.085  fm down to 0.05 fm. In the Nf=2+1 flavor theory two types of improvement coefficients exist: bJ, proportional to nonsinglet quark mass combinations, and b¯J (or b˜J), proportional to the trace of the quark mass matrix. Combining our nonperturbative determinations with perturbative results, we quote Padé approximants parametrizing the bJ improvement coefficients within the above window of lattice spacings. We also give preliminary results for b˜J at β=3.4.
