dc.descriptionWe study the fermion action needed to accurately describe the low energy physics of systems including heavy quarks in lattice QCD even when the heavy fermion mass $m$ is on the order of, or larger than, the inverse lattice spacing: $m \ge 1/a$. We carry out an expansion through first order in $|\vec p| a$ (where $\vec p$ is the heavy quark momentum) and all orders in $ma$, refining the analysis of the Fermilab and Tsukuba groups. We demonstrate that the spectrum of heavy quark bound states can be determined accurately through $|\vec p| a$ and $(ma)^n$ for arbitrary exponent $n$ by using a lattice action containing only three unknown coefficients: $m_0$, $ζ$ and $c_P$ (a generalization of $c_{SW}$), which are functions of $ma$. In a companion paper, we show how these three coefficients can be precisely determined using non-perturbative techniques.
