Determination of the Wilson ChPT low energy constant c_2
  Following a suggestion by Aoki and B\"ar, c2 can be extracted by analyzing volume effects in 2-pion states. To this end we consider renormalized ratios of four point to two point correlation functions. We present the results from various CLS lattices, with pion masses ranging from 280 to 450 MeV and lattice spacings of 0.07 fm and 0.08 fm. This low energy constant is useful to understand discretization effects in chiral extrapolations with Wilson fermions, especially for quantities which vanish in the chiral limit, like the pion mass. Since our procedure is computationally cheap and straightforward, it is recommended as a routine study for any Wilson-type simulation, as a check of discretization effects.
