The low energy excitation spectrum of the critical Wilson surface is discussed between the roughening transition and the continuum limit of lattice QCD. The fine structure of the spectrum is interpreted within the framework of…
Spectral density in the pseudoscalar and vector channels is extracted from the SU(2) lattice quenched data. It is shown to consist of three sharp poles within the energy range accessible on the lattice.
In the framework of pertubative QCD it is argued that in the elastic $ed$-scattering at $Q^{2}\sim$ few $(GeV/c)^{2}$ the light-cone-frame helicity-flip amplitudes could not be omitted. The obtained $\frac{B}{A}$ ratio of Rosenbluth…
