Abstract

We discuss insights that may be drawn from our recent 2 flavour O(a)–improved Wilson quark simulations. We discuss the evidence of the onset of chiral logarithms in the pion decay constant. An overview is given of current extrapolation methods and a modification of chiral perturbation theory is presented as an approach for sensibly extrapolating to the physical quark masses.
