Abstract
These notes aim to provide a pedagogical introduction to Lattice QCD. The
topics covered include the scope of LQCD calculations, lattice discretization
of gauge and fermion (naive, Wilson, and staggered) actions, doubling problem,
improved gauge and Dirac actions, confinement and strong coupling expansions,
phase transitions in the lattice theory, lattice operators, a general
discussion of statistical and systematic errors in simulations of LQCD, the
analyses of the hadron spectrum, glueball masses, the strong coupling constant,
and the quark masses.
