Non-perturbatively improved clover action for SU(2) gauge + fundamental and adjoint representation fermions

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

The research of strongly coupled beyond-the-standard-model theories has generated significant interest in non-abelian gauge field theories with different number of fermions in different representations. Motivated by the increased interest to various technicolor scenarios, we study the non-perturbative improvement of the Wilson-clover action with SU(2) gauge fields and 2 flavors of fermions in the fundamental and adjoint representations. The Sheikholeslami-Wohlert coefficients are fixed using Schroedinger functional boundary conditions. The adjoint representation theory is a candidate for a "minimal technicolor" theory, already studied on the lattice using unimproved Wilson fermions.
