Title: Numerical techniques for lattice gauge theories

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6803817· OSTI ID:6803817

The motivation for formulating gauge theories on a lattice is reviewed. Monte Carlo simulation techniques are then discussed for these systems. Finally, the Monte Carlo methods are combined with renormalization group analysis to give strong numerical evidence for confinement of quarks by non-Abelian gauge fields.
