Introduction to Lattice QCD

The project will be the use of lattice QCD to compute the masses of hadrons.

Introductory lectures on lattice QCD

Introductory papers on lattice QCD

• An introduction to lattice hadron spectroscopy for students without quantum field theoretical background.

Textbooks on lattice QCD

There are a couple of introductory textbooks for lattice QCD. The first two are a bit pricey.

• • Quantum Chromodynamics on the Lattice: An Introductory Presentation (Lecture Notes in Physics)

  • by Christof Gattringer and Christian Lang

  • Lattice Methods for Quantum Chromodynamics by DeTar and DeGrand

  • Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics: Practical Essentials (SpringerBriefs in Physics) 1st ed., by Francesco Knechtli , Michael Günther, Michael Peardon
