Twisted mass fermion
text:
In lattice field theory, twisted mass fermions are a fermion discretization that extends Wilson fermions for two mass-degenerate fermions.
They are well established and regularly used in non-perturbative fermion simulations, for instance in lattice QCD. The original motivation for the use of twisted mass fermions in lattice QCD simulations was the observation that the two lightest quarks have very similar mass and can therefore be approximated with the same (degenerate) mass. They form a so-call
