Title: A quenched study of the Schroedinger functional with chirally rotated boundary conditions: applications

Journal Article · · Nuclear Physics B

In a previous paper (González López, et al., 2013) [1], we have discussed the non-perturbative tuning of the chirally rotated Schrödinger functional (χSFχSF). This tuning is required to eliminate bulk O(a) cutoff effects in physical correlation functions. Using our tuning results obtained in González López et al. (2013) [1] we perform scaling and universality tests analyzing the residual O(a) cutoff effects of several step-scaling functions and we compute renormalization factors at the matching scale. As an example of possible application of the χSFχSF we compute the renormalized strange quark mass using large volume data obtained from Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist.
