Scaling of the 0sup++ glueball mass in SU(N) Hamiltonian lattice calculations

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
We show that a variational calculation of the ground-state energy of SU(N) Hamiltonian lattice gauge theories concurrently gives an estimate of the 0/sup ++/ glueball mass. Monte Carlo calculations in three spatial dimension for N = 3, 4, 5, and 6 indicate that the resulting glueball mass begins to scale for Ngreater than or equal to5.
