Abstract
We present heavy-meson spectrum results obtained using the Oktay-Kronfeld (OK) action on MILC asqtad lattices. The OK action was designed to improve the heavy-quark action of the Fermilab formulation, such that heavy-quark discretization errors are reduced. The OK action includes dimension-6 and -7 operators necessary for tree-level matching to QCD through order O(Λ3/m3 Q) for heavy-light mesons and O(ν6) for quarkonium, or, equivalently, through O(a2) with some O(a3) terms with Symanzik power counting. To assess the improvement, we extend previous numerical tests with heavy-meson masses by analyzing data generated on a finer (a ≈ 0.12 fm) lattice with the correct tadpole factors for the c5 term in the action. We update the analyses of the inconsistency parameter and the hyperfine splittings for the rest and kinetic masses.
