What lattice calculations tell us about the glueball spectrum

چکیده
I review what lattice QCD simulations have to tell us about the glueball spectrum. We see that the various lattice calculations are in good agreement with each other. They predict that prior to mixing with nearby flavour singlet quarkonia the lightest glueball states are the scalar at 1.61 ± 0.15 GeV, the tensor at 2.26 ± 0.22 GeV, and the pseudoscalar at 2.19 ± 0.32 GeV.

1 1 Introduction In these lectures I will show, through three examples, how current lattice calculations are able to tell us interesting things about the continuum physics of non-Abelian gauge theories. My first topic concerns the glueball spectrum. The physics question here is: where, in the experimentally determined hadron spectrum, are the glueballs hiding? I will first summarise what lattic...
متن کاملON THE GLUEBALL SPECTRUM IN O ( a ) – IMPROVED LATTICE QCD
We calculate the light ‘glueball’ mass spectrum in Nf = 2 lattice QCD using a fermion action that is non–perturbatively O(a) improved. We work at lattice spacings a ∼ 0.1 fm and with quark masses that range down to about half the strange quark mass. We find the statistical errors to be moderate and under control on relatively small ensembles. We compare our mass spectrum to that of quenched QCD...
متن کاملColour-Dielectric Gauge Theory on a Transverse Lattice
We investigate in some detail consequences of the effective colour-dielectric formulation of lattice gauge theory using the light-cone Hamiltonian formalism with a transverse lattice. As a quantitative test of this approach, we have performed extensive analytic and numerical calculations for 2 + 1-dimensional pure gauge theory in the large N limit. Because of Eguchi-Kawai reduction, one effecti...
متن کامل0 A Lattice Study of the Glueball Spectrum †
Glueball spectrum is studied using an improved gluonic action on asymmetric lattices in the pure SU(3) gauge theory. The smallest spatial lattice spacing is about 0.08fm which makes the extrapolation to the continuum limit more reliable. In particular, attention is paid to the scalar glueball mass which is known to have problems in the extrapolation. Converting our lattice results to physical u...
متن کاملBeyond the quark model of hadrons from lattice QCD
Lattice QCD can give direct information on OZI-violating contributions to mesons. Here we explore the contributions that split flavour singlet and non-singlet meson masses. I discuss in detail the spectrum and decays for scalar mesons (ie including glueball effects). I also review the status of hybrid mesons and their decays.
