Abstract:We present preliminary results from our calculation of the low energy constants (LECs) of the chiral effective theory for 3, 4 and 5 color QCD with = 2 dynamical fermion flavors. We simulate with clover fermions over a range of lattice couplings and quark masses. We observe the expected scaling for the LECs appropriate to the condensate and pseudoscalar decay constant . The range of quark masses over which leading order chiral perturbation theory describes the data grows as rises.
