Abstract

I report on first results of the ETMC obtained simulating lattice QCD with two degenerate flavours of Wilson twisted mass fermions, for which physical observables are automatically O(a) improved. Recent improvements of the HMC algorithm allow simulations of pseudoscalar masses below 300 MeV on volumes L³ x 2L with L>2 fm and at values of the lattice spacing a<0.1 fm.
