Description
We present SU(3) lattice Yang-Mills data for hybrid static potentials from five ensembles with different small lattice spacings and the corresponding parametrizations for quark-antiquark separations $0.08 \text{ fm} \le r \le 1.12 \text{ fm}$. We remove lattice discretization errors at tree level of perturbation theory and at leading order in $a^2$ as well as the $a$-dependent self-energy. In particular the tree-level improvement of static potentials is discussed in detail and two approaches are compared. The resulting parametrizations are expected to represent continuum results for hybrid static potentials within statistical errors.
