A Consumer's Guide to Lattice QCD Results
Abstract
I present an overview of recent lattice QCD results on hadron spectroscopy and matrix elements. Case studies include light quark spectroscopy, the determination of αs from heavy quark spectroscopy, the D-meson decay constant, a calculation of the Isgur-Wise function, and some examples of the (lack of) effect of sea quarks on matrix elements. The review is intended for the non-expert. Talk presented at the 1993 Slac Summer Institute
