Abstract

The aim of this work is to employ lattice simulations to study the glueball spectrum in the large-N limit as a fundamental probe of confinement, and to verify theoretical predictions. A pure Yang-Mills lattice implementation was developed in-house, and used for computing the scalar 0++ glueball mass in SU(2) as a first step towards our goal. Although we have successfully observed an upper limit to the mass for the 0++ glueball in lattice units, we were unable to directly determine its mass. This is due to the signal of the 2-point correlation function being too noisy in the current implementation.
