Abstract

These lectures provide an introduction to lattice methods for nonperturbative studies of Quantum Chromodynamics. Lecture 1 (Ch. 2): Basic techniques for QCD and results for hadron spectroscopy using the simplest discretizations; lecture 2 (Ch. 3): ``improved actions''--what they are and how well they work lecture 3 (Ch. 4): SLAC physics from the lattice: structure functions, the mass of the glueball, heavy quarks and αs(MZ)\alpha_s(M_Z), and BBˉB-\bar B mixing.
