Abstract: (Elsevier)
We perform a variational calculation of the masses of glueballs of various spins and parities in SU(2) gauge theory. The quantum vacuum we use is generated by the lattice Monte Carlo technique. Our first results, obtained on medium sized lattices give m (0 + ) = (3.6 ± 0.35) Λ mom , m (0 − = (6.0 ± 1.0) Λ mom , m (2 + ) = (6.5 +1.8 −1.1 ) Λ mom , various mass upper bounds and information on glueball wave functions.
