Low energy precision experiments provide significant tests of the laws of nature that can reveal physics beyond the Standard Model. A good theoretical understanding of the low energy properties of QCD is required for this purpose. The…
Rather than regarding the restriction of current lattice QCD simulations to quark masses that are 5--10 times larger than those observed, we note that this presents a wonderful opportunity to deepen our understanding of QCD. Just as it has…
The proton mass calculation is still a tough challenge for lattice QCD. We discuss the current status and difficulties based on the recent PACS-CS results for the hadron spectrum in 2+1 flavor QCD.

We report on a calculation of the light hadron spectrum and quark masses in three-flavor dynamical QCD using the non-perturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson quark action and a renormalization-group improved gauge action. Simulations are carried…
I review recent lattice results on the spectrum and structure of baryons. Limitations due to the quenched approximation and un-physically heavy up and down quarks are discussed, and interfaces between first principles studies of QCD (or…
We derive lower bounds for the combination of light quark masses m_s +m_u and m_d +m_u. The derivation is based on first principles: the analyticity properties of two-point functions of local current operators and the positivity of the…
We discuss preliminary results from our quenched light hadron mass calculation on a $48^3 \times 64$ lattice at the coupling of $\beta = 6.5$. Staggered quarks with masses of $m_q = 0.01, 0.005, 0.0025$ and $0.00125$ are used.
The intention of these lecture notes is to outline the basics of lattice hadron spectroscopy to students from other fields of physics, e.g. from experimental particle physics, who do not necessarily have a background in quantum field…
Some simple expectations for the quark mass dependence of radial excitation energies of heavy-light hadrons based on consideration of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics are discussed. Experimental and theoretical results are reviewed in…
In this talk, I discuss methods that allow for a systematic and model-independent calculation of the hadron spectrum. These are lattice QCD and/or its corresponding Effective Field Theories. Assorted results are shown and I take the…
In this talk I review several topics concerning the determination of quark masses by means of lattice QCD simulations, with particular focus on recently introduced techniques of non-perturbative renormalisation, the determination of heavy…
The mass spectrum of S and P-wave mesons containing a single heavy quark has been computed using quenched lattice nonrelativistic QCD. Numerical results have been obtained at first, second and third order in the heavy quark expansion, so…
Various suggestions exist for incorporating the strange quark into twisted mass QCD. One option for quenched simulations is to employ two twisted doublets, (u,d) and (c,s), with separate twist angles. Working in the isospin limit,…
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 give a selection of results on spectrum and decay constants of light and heavy-light hadrons. Effective field theories relevant for their lattice calculation, namely non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) for heavy quarks on the lattice and Chiral…
The study of heavy-light meson masses should provide a way to determine renormalized quark masses and other properties of heavy-light mesons. In the context of lattice QCD, for example, it is possible to calculate hadronic quantities for…
