We use a variety of filtering recipes (APE, HYP, EXP, HEX), some of which are suitable for a HMC with dynamical fermions. A generic filtering together with a (fat-link) clover term yields fermions with much reduced chiral symmetry breaking.7 pages, Lattice 2006 (Quark Masses, Gauge Couplings, and Renormalization)High Energy Physics - Latticetext
