The potential between two heavy-light mesons as a function of the heavy quark separation is calculated in quenched SU(3) lattice QCD. We study the case of heavy-light mesons with a static heavy quark and light quarks of mass close to the…
Recent lattice calculations on the interaction energy of two heavy-light mesons (Q^2\bar{q}^2) are interpreted in terms of the potential of the corresponding single heavy-light meson (Q\bar{q}). This model leads to a large overestimate of…
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…
Using the QCD string approach the adiabatic potentials and spectra of b\bar b-hybrid mesons are calculated. The results are compared to lattice studies.
We consider the nucleon-nucleon potential in quenched and partially-quenched QCD. The leading one-meson exchange contribution to the potential is found to fall off exponentially at long-distances, in contrast with the Yukawa-type behaviour…

In lattice QCD, obtaining properties of heavy-light mesons has been easier said than done. Focusing on the $B$ meson's decay constant, it is argued that towards the end of 1997 the last obstacles were removed, at least in the quenched…

By comparing lattice data for the two heavy-light meson system (Q^2 qbar^2) with a standard many-body approach employing only interquark potentials, it is shown that the use of unmodified two-quark potentials leads to a gross overestimate…

Lattice Gauge Theory enables an ab initio study of the low-energy properties of Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of the strong interaction. I begin these lectures by presenting the lattice formulation of QCD, and then outline the…
We study the meson-meson and meson-baryon interactions in lattice QCD. The simulation is performed on 20^3 * 24 lattice at \beta=5.7 using Wilson gauge action and Wilson fermion at the quenched level. By adopting one static quark for each…
We study mass spectra of a meson-meson system involving two light and two heavy quarks on an anisotropic lattice. The heavy quarks are treated in the static approximation. The dependence of the spectrum on the relative distance of the heavy…
We apply to a lattice version of the 't~Hooft model, QCD in two space-time dimensions for large number of colours, a method recently proposed to obtain an effective mesonic action starting from the fundamental, fermionic one. The idea is to…

Quark number susceptibilities as computed in lattice QCD are commonly believed to provide insights into the microscopic structure of QCD matter, in particular its degrees of freedom. We generalize a previously constructed partonic…
