Abstract
We extend chiral perturbation theory to include linear dependence on the lattice spacing a for the Wilson action. The perturbation theory is written as a double expansion in the small quark mass and lattice spacing a. We present formulas for the mass and decay constant of a flavor-nonsinglet meson in this scheme to order a and The extension to the partially quenched theory is also described.
