The status of lattice calculations in the light hadron sector is reviewed. Special emphasis is given to recent lattice determinations of the mass of the strange quark. The impact of non-perturbative renormalization and control over lattice…
(Report of the Top Physics working group at the 1996 DPF/DPB Snowmass workshop, to appear in the proceedings). We discuss the study of the top quark at future experiments and machines. Top's large mass makes it a unique probe of physics at…
