Abstract

We present results for the masses and decay constants of the light mesons in quenched QCD using the standard gluon action and a tadpole--improved SW--clover fermionic action to reduce discretisation errors. The calculation has been carried out at fixed volume and three lattice spacings corresponding to β=5.7, 6.0 and 6.2. We make comparisons with the conventional SW--clover scheme. We use our results to extract continuum limits and to quantify the size of discretisation errors at smaller β-values.
