Description
We have recently performed a determination of the charm quark mass on Nf = 2+1 CLS ensembles of non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions. I will present the preliminary results of this analysis for the renormalization-group invariant charm quark mass and the ratio m_c/m_s on these ensembles. The extrapolation to the chiral and continuum limits is performed using 5 lattice spacings ranging roughly from 0.09 down to 0.04 fm and pion masses from 420 MeV to 130 MeV. The spatial extent of the ensembles is generally at least 4 / M_\pi. In my talk, I will discuss the various analysis strategies we considered, including the fitting procedure, corrections for the correlations in the data, and the chiral-continuum extrapolation.
