Lattice QCD and Hadron Structure
Abstract
One of the great challenges of lattice QCD is to produce unambiguous predictions for the properties of physical hadrons. We review recent progress with respect to a major barrier to achieving this goal, namely the fact that computation time currently limits us to large quark mass. Using insights from the study of the lattice data itself and the general constraints of chiral symmetry we demonstrate that it is possible to extrapolate reliably from the mass region where calculations can be performed to the chiral limit.
