Abstract

A finite-size technique is employed to compute the normalization constant of the isovector axial current in lattice QCD. The calculation is carried out in the quenched approximation for values of the bare gauge coupling ranging from 0 to 1. In the lattice action and the lattice expression for the axial current we include the counterterms required for O(a) improvement, with non-perturbatively determined coefficients. With little additional work the normalization constant of the improved isospin current is also obtained.
