Hadronic Physics from the Lattice

Abstract

Topics covered in this review are the lattice gauge theory approach to the evaluation of non-perturbative hadronic interactions from first principles, particularly applications to glueballs, inter-quark potentials, the running coupling constant and hybrid mesons. Also discussed are the limitations of the quenched approximation.
