Hadron spectroscopy from lattice QCD

I present recent developments in the lattice QCD calculations of the light hadron spectrum. Emphasis is placed on the limitation of the quenched approximation in reproducing the observed spectrum and indications that the discrepancy is reduced by introducing two flavors of light dynamical quarks.

Lattice quantum chromodynamics: Some topics

I review some topics in lattice quantum chromodynamics, focusing more on the recent results. These include: (i) the QCD phase diagram in the μ–T plane, (ii) the quark number susceptibilities, and (iii) the screening lengths.

Magnetic moments of light nuclei from lattice quantum chromodynamics.

We present the results of lattice QCD calculations of the magnetic moments of the lightest nuclei, the deuteron, the triton, and ^{3}He, along with those of the neutron and proton. These calculations, performed at quark masses corresponding to m_{π}∼800  MeV, reveal that the structure of these nuclei at unphysically heavy quark masses closely resembles that at the physical quark masses.
