Staggered Fermion Actions with Improved Rotational Invariance
arXiv:hep-lat/9709157 · doi:10.1016/S0920-5632(97)00933-X
Abstract
We introduce a class of improved actions for staggered fermions which to O(p^4) and O(p^6), respectively, lead to rotationally invariant propagators. We discuss the resulting reduction of flavour symmetry breaking in the meson spectrum and comment on the improvement in the calculation of thermodynamic observables.
