Hadron Spectroscopic Methods in Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics

Chaos in Quantum Chromodynamics and the Hadron Spectrum

We present analytic evidence that the distribution of hadron masses follows from the universal transition to chaos in non-equilibrium field theory. It is shown that meson and baryon spectra obey a scaling hierarchy with critical exponents ordered in natural progression. Numerical predictions are found to be in close agreement with experimental data. c © Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physics...

Quantum Chromodynamics and the Dynamics of Hadrons

The application of perturbative quantum chromodynamics to the dynamics of hadrons at short distance is reviewed, with particular emphasis on the role of the hadronic bound state. A number of new applications are discussed, including (a) the modification to QCD scaling violations in structure functions due to hadronic binding; 6) a discussion of coherence and binding corrections to the gluon and...

Molecular Dynamics for Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics

During the last years, immense progress has been achieved in the stochastic treatment of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) on the lattice. Algorithms based on a molecular dynamics like treatment of gauge and quark elds have opened the door to exact ab-initio simulations. The Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm, the most prominent representative of full QCD algorithms, is the favorite scheme to includ...

Quantum Chromodynamics

After a brief historical review of the emergence of QCD as the quantum field theory of strong interactions, the basic notions of colour and gauge invariance are introduced leading to the QCD Lagrangian. The second lecture is devoted to perturbative QCD, from tree-level processes to higher-order corrections in renormalized perturbation theory, including jet production in e + e − annihilation , h...
