Non-perturbative improvement of the axial current in Nf=3 lattice QCD with Wilson fermions and tree-level improved gauge action

The coefficient cA required for O(a) improvement of the axial current in lattice QCD with Nf=3 flavors of Wilson fermions and the tree-level Symanzik-improved gauge action is determined non-perturbatively. The standard improvement condition using Schrödinger functional boundary conditions is employe...
