Abstract
We describe a direct method for calculating the glueball mass spectrum in QCD and apply it to theSU (2) non-abelian gauge theory. The method involves the applicatio of Monte Carlo methods to the lattice regulated theory. We calculate the masses of states of various spins and parity. We check for the absence of finite size effects, for the desired renormalization group dependence and that our higher mass states do not merely reflect a continuum cut. Finally we repeat the calculation in the “Hamiltonian” limit and in the high temperature deconfining phase of QCD.

K. Ishikawa, G. Schierholz, M. Teper: Phys. Lett.110B, 339 (1982) The numbers in this reference contain some minor errors. Firstly, in presenting the 0+, 0− and 2+ masses in GeV units a string tension of (430 MeV)2 was incorrectly employed rather than the stated (400 MeV)2. In the present work we normalize to 400 MeV. Secondly, for the 0− we remarked that the purely spatial wave-functionals appeared to give, at β=2.5, a comparable mass to that obtained using the\(F\tilde F\) operator. A subsequent increase in statistics has shown that in fact this is not so: the spatial wave-functionals donot have a significant projection onto such a low mass 0− state
