Description

We present a comparison between Kogut-Susskind and Wilson formulations of lattice QCD fermions, by means of an MC simulation on a 103 x 20 lattice at β = 6 in the quenched approximation. The two methods reasonably agree in the evaluation of the scale of the lattice spacing in physical units, a-1 approx.= 2 GeV, but disagree by about a factor of two in the estimate of the quark mass values.
