Using a nonperturbative method based on asymptotic behaviour of Wilson loops we calculate masses of glueballs and corresponding Regge-trajectories. The method contains no fitting parameters and the mass scale is fixed by the meson Regge…
We present a study of the $SU(3)$ glueball spectrum for all $J^{PC}$ values at lattice spacings down to $a^{-1}=3.73 (6)$ GeV ($\beta=6.4$) using lattices of size up to $32^4$. We extend previous studies and show that the continuum limit…
Progress in computing the spectrum of excited baryons and mesons in lattice QCD is described. Large sets of spatially-extended hadron operators are used. The need for multi-hadron operators in addition to single-hadron operators is…
We scrutinize the determination of glueball masses in pure Yang-Mills theory from functional equations, i.e. Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations. We survey the state-of-the-art input (dressed propagators and vertices) with an…
We study the 1/N expansion in the recently proposed model of the lattice gauge theory induced by heavy scalar field in adjoint representation. In the first approximation the fluctuations of the density of eigenvalues of the scalar field are…
The masses of two-gluon glueballs are studied with a semirelativistic potential model whose interaction is a scalar linear confinement supplemented by a one-gluon exchange mechanism. The gluon is massless but the leading corrections of the…
We study glueball and gluelump spectra calculated after abelian projection in both quenched and $N_f=2$ full QCD. The abelian projection is made after MA gauge fixing. We demonstrate that both spectra can be recovered despite the problem…
We investigate the anisotropic lattice with $O(a)$ improved quark action as a candidate of framework in which we can treat both the heavy and light quark region in the same manner and systematically reduce the systematic uncertainties. To…
We briefly discuss some issues concerning including the pseudoscalar glueball interpolating operators into the variational basis for computing the masses of the eta and etaprime mesons. As a start we present some preliminary results for the…
In the present work a consistent kinematic-based framework for glueball states is proposed. It relates the glueball, the Pomeron, QCD lattice calculations, the $0^{++}$ scalar states $f_0(1710)$ and $\chi_{c0}(1P)$, the $2^{++}$ states…
Basing on the results of the K-matrix fit of $(IJ^{PC}=00^{++})$ wave, we analyze the analytic structure of the amplitude and $q \bar q$/glueball content of resonances in the mass region 1200-1900 MeV, where an extra state for $q \bar…
We use improved lattice actions for glue, light quarks and heavy quarks for which we use lattice NRQCD to compute hadron masses. Our results are in good agreement with experiment, except for charmed hadrons. It seems that charmed quar ks…
The lattice QCD studies indicate that the critical temperature $T_c \simeq 260-280$ MeV of the deconfinement phase transition in quenched QCD is considerably smaller than the lowest-lying glueball mass $m_{\rm G} \simeq 1500-1700$ MeV,…
We provide the first explanation of the counter-intuitive scalar glueball couplings to pseudoscalar mesons found in lattice QCD and predict hitherto uncalculated decay modes. Significant a_1 pi and (pi pi)_S (pi pi)_S couplings are found.…
Working with a large basis of covariant derivative-based meson interpolating fields we demonstrate the feasibility of reliably extracting multiple excited states using a variational method. The study is performed on quenched anisotropic…
Results for the inter-quark potential and low-lying SU(3) glueball spectrum from simulations using a new improved action are presented. The action, suitable for highly anisotropic lattices, contains a two-plaquette term coupling with a…

The estimation of the K\"all\'en-Lehmann spectral density from gauge invariant lattice QCD two point correlation functions is proposed, and explored via an inversion strategy based on Tikhonov regularisation. We test the method on a mesonic…
