Abstract

After making some critical comments about the traditional method of extracting the gluon condensate from lattice QCD data, I present an alternative analysis. The result is more than a factor of five larger than the phenomenological value. Two closely related subjects, the effects of the infrared renormalons on the extraction and the Lepage and Mackenzie improvement on a lattice perturbation series, are also discussed.
