โฆ Synopsis
It is possible to improve the chiral behaviour and the approach to the continuum limit of correlation functions in lattice QCD with standard and twisted Wilson fermions by taking arithmetic averages of correlators computed in theories regularized with Wilson terms of opposite sign. To avoid the problem of the spurious zero-modes of the Wilson-Dirac operator, twisted-mass lattice QCD should be used for the actual computation of the correlators taking part in the averages. A particularly useful choice for the twisting angle is l t:n/2 where many physical quantities (e.g. masses and zero-momentum matrix elements) are automatically improved with no need of averaging.

We report calculations of B K using two flavours of dynamical clover-improved Wilson lattice fermions and look for dependence on the dynamical quark mass at fixed lattice spacing. We see some evidence for dynamical quark effects. In particular B K decreases as the sea quark masses are reduced toward
We apply a recent proposal to speed up the Hybrid-Monte-Carlo simulation of systems with dynamical fermions to two flavor QCD with clover-improvement. For our smallest quark masses we see a speed-up of more than a factor of two compared with the standard algorithm.
We report preliminary results for the I = 2 pion scattering length a0, calculated with chirally improved fermions. After chiral extrapolation our results are in good agreement with both, experimental and theoretical predictions.
