$m_c/m_s$ with Brillouin fermions

Abstract

We present a calculation of the ratio of the charm quark mass to the strange quark mass. Using the Brillouin improved Wilson action, we are able to calculate this ratio in a single framework, using a relativistic fermionic action throughout. The calculation is carried out on selected ensembles of two flavor clover improved lattices produced by the QCDSF collaboration, allowing an extrapolation to the continuum, to infinite volume and to the physical pion mass.
