Glueball Mass Predictions of the Valence Approximation to Lattice QCD

Abstract

We evaluate the infinite volume, continuum limit of glueball masses in the valence (quenched) approximation to lattice QCD. For the lightest states with $J^{PC}$ of $0^{++}$ and $2^{++}$, we obtain $m_0=1340\pm 160$ MeV and $m_2=1900\pm 320$ MeV.
