Wilson versus Clover fermions: A case for improvement

Abstract

We present evidence for improvement with tadpole improved clover fermions based on an analysis of the chiral behavior of BK and the quark condensate. Also presented are a comparison of the mass splittings in the baryon octet and decuplet, a calculation of cA using standard 2-point correlation functions, and the problem of zero modes of the Dirac operator.
