Aiming at the relation between QCD and the quark model, we consider projections of gauge configurations generated in quenched lattice QCD simulations in the Coulomb gauge on a 16$^{\rm 3}$ $\rm \times$ 32, $\rm \beta$ = 6.0 lattice. First,…
We evaluate the infinite volume, continuum limits of eight hadron mass ratios predicted by lattice QCD with Wilson quarks in the valence (quenched) approximation. Each predicted ratio differs from the corresponding observed value by less…
Bound states of heavy $\bar{q}q$ quarks are reviewed within the context of QCD. First of all, we consider the calculations which can be performed {\sl ab initio}, which includes $\bar{t}t$ with principal quantum number $n$ up to four,…
We have measured the hadron spectrum in lattice QCD, using staggered fermions, for 0 (the quenched approximation), 2 and 4 light degenerate dynamical quarks. In addition to earlier results involving extrapolations in valence quark masses…
QCD exhibits complex dynamics near S-wave two-body thresholds. For light mesons, we see this in the failure of quark models to explain the $f_0(500)$ and $K_0^*(700)$ masses. For charmonium, an unexpected $X(3872)$ state appears at the open…
We consider weak decays of heavy hadrons (bottom and charmed) where the heavy quark acts as a spectator. Theses decays are heavily phase-space suppressed but may become experimentally accessible in the near future. These decays are…
String breaking by dynamical quarks in three-dimensional lattice QCD is analyzed through measurements of the potential and the local color-electric field strength generated by a static quark-antiquark pair. Simulations were done for…
We present results for light hadrons composed of both degenerate and non-degenerate quarks in quenched lattice QCD. We calculate masses and decay constants using 60 gauge configurations with an $O(a)$--improved fermion action at $\beta =…
We study the hadronic molecular structure of hidden heavy pentaquarks - new exotic states composed of charmed/bottom baryons and $D(D^*)/B(B^*)$ mesons. Based on the observation of three pentaquark candidates $P_c^+(4312)$, $P_c^+(4440)$,…
We present the first study of baryon-baryon interactions in the continuum limit of lattice QCD, finding unexpectedly large lattice artifacts. Specifically, we determine the binding energy of the $H$ dibaryon at a single quark-mass point.…
We discuss a relation between the QCD thermodynamics obtained from a statistical analysis of particle production in heavy ion collisions at SPS and RHIC energies and recent LGT results at finite chemical potential. We show that basic…
This paper concerns a method of describing hadrons that starts with the canonical front form Hamiltonian of QCD. The method is developed in the relatively simple context of QCD with only heavy quarks. We regulate its canonical Hamiltonian…
Recent advances in lattice and continuum QCD have given us new insights into quarkonium physics. These set of lectures are intend for the uninitiated. We first give a physical picture of quarkonium and describe the hybrids states…
I present results of recent work for the UKQCD Collaboration on the light hadron spectrum using a non-perturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson action with two degenerate flavours of dynamical quarks on a 16^3x32 lattice. Values of the bare gauge…
Because the time needed for a simulation in lattice QCD varies at a rate exceeding the fourth power of the lattice size, it is important to understand how small one can make a lattice without altering the physics beyond recognition. It is…
Lattice QCD determinations appropriate to hadron spectroscopy are reviewed with emphasis on the glueball and hybrid meson states in the quenched approximation. Hybrids are discussed for heavy and for light quarks. The effects of sea quarks…
String breaking by dynamical quarks in (2+1)-d lattice QCD is demonstrated in this project, by measuring the static potential and the local color-electric field strength between a heavy quark and antiquark pair at large separations.…
In this talk, multiquarks are studied microscopically in a standard quark model. In pure ground-state pentaquarks the short-range interaction is computed and it is shown to be repulsive, a narrow pentaquark cannot be in the groundstate. As…
Progress in extracting the spectrum of excited hadron resonances in lattice QCD Monte Carlo calculations is reviewed and the key issues and challenges in such computations are outlined. The importance of multi-hadron states as simulations…
In this work we study the predominantly orbital and radial excitations of hadrons containing a single heavy quark. We present meson and baryon mass splittings and ratios of meson decay constants (e.g., $f_{B_s}/f_B$ and $f_{B_s'}/f_{B_s}$)…
