The masses and dispersions of light hadrons are calculated in lattice QCD using an O(a^2) tadpole-improved gluon action and an O(a^2) tadpole-improved next-nearest-neighbor fermion action originally proposed by Hamber and Wu. Two lattices…

We study the quenched chiral behavior of hadrons with the pseudoscalar mass as low as $\approx 280$ MeV. We look for quenched chiral logs in the pion mass, determine the renormalized quark mass, and observe quenched artifacts in the $a_0$…

We present results of quenched $SU(3)$ hadron spectroscopy comparing $\order(a)$ improved Wilson (Clover) fermions with conventional Wilson fermions. The configurations were generated using an $\order(a^2)$ improved 6-link $SU(3)$ pure…
Simulations that use the clover action in quenched QCD calculations have a lower limit to the quark mass that can be reached, because of the fluctuations caused by exceptional configurations. From this low statistics study, we find that the…
New extended interpolating operators made of quenched three dimensional fermions are introduced in the context of lattice QCD. The mass of the 3D fermions can be tuned in a controlled way to find a better overlap of the extended operators…

We discuss the application of the permutation group S_N to a few problems in hadron physics. A method is proposed for matching a quark model Hamiltonian onto the effective Hamiltonian of the 1/Nc expansion, which makes use of the…
We compute the quark-gluon vertex in quenched lattice QCD, in the Landau gauge using an off-shell mean-field O(a)-improved fermion action. The Dirac-vector part of the vertex is computed for arbitrary kinematics. We find a substantial…
More and more hadron states are found to be difficult to be accommodated by the quenched quark models which describe baryons as 3-quark states and mesons as antiquark-quark states. Dragging out an antiquark-quark pair from the gluon field…
The effect of using smeared sink operators on the hadron spectrum is studied for quenched twisted mass lattice QCD with up, down, and strange quarks. Gaussian smearing is used for quark fields, and stout link smearing for gauge fields.…
Lattice QCD has matured to a degree where it is now possible to study excited hadrons as they truly appear in nature, as short-lived resonant enhancements decaying into multiple possible final states. Through variational analysis of…
