Printed in Singapore by Uto-Print PREFACE During August/September 2001, a group of 75 physicists from 51 laboratories in 15 countries met in Erice to participate in the 39th Course of the International School of Subnuclear Physics. The countries represented by the participants were: Argentina, Austria, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, Ukraine and the United States of America. The School was sponsored by the Academies of Sciences of Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine; the Chinese Academy of Sciences; the Commission of the European Communities; the European Physical Society (EPS); the Italian Ministry of University and Scientific Research (MURST); the Sicilian Regional Government (ERS); the Weizmann Institute of Science; the World Federation of Scientists and the World Laboratory. The purpose of the School was to focus attention on the theoretical and phenomenological developments in String Theory, as well as in all the other sectors of Subnuclear Physics. Experimental highlights were presented and discussed, as reported in the contents. A new feature of the School, introduced in 1996, is a series of special sessions devoted to "New Talents". This is a serious problem in Experimental Physics where collaborations count several hundreds of participants and it is almost impossible for young fellows to be known. Even if with much less emphasis the problem exists also in Theoretical Physics. So we decided to offer the young fellows a possibility to let them be known. Eleven "new talents" were invited to present a paper, followed by a discussion. Three were given the prize: one for the best presentation; one for an original theoretical work; and one for an original experimental work. These special sessions devoted to New Talents represent the projection of Subnuclear Physics on the axis of the young generation. As every year, the discussion sessions have been the focal point of the School's activity. During the organization and the running of this year's Course, I enjoyed the collaboration of two colleagues and friends, Gerardus 't Hooft and Gabriele Veneziano, who shared with me the Directorship of the Course. I would like to thank them, together with the group of invited scientists and all the people who contributed to the success of this year's Course. vi I hope the reader will enjoy the book as much as the students attending the lectures and discussion sessions. Thanks to the work of the Scientific Secretaries, the discussions have been reproduced as faithfully as possible. At various stages of my work I have enjoyed the collaboration of many friends whose contributions have been extremely important for the School and are highly appreciated. I thank them most warmly. A final acknowledgement to all those in Erice, Bologna and Geneva, who have helped me on so many occasions and to whom I feel very indebted.

The values of the quark masses and the strengths of the decays of one quark flavour into another cannot be mea- sured directly, but must be deduced from experiments on hadrons. This requires calculations of the strong-interaction effects within the bound states, which are only possible using numerical simulations of lattice QCD. These are computa- tionally intensive and, for the past twenty years, have exploited leading-edge computing technology. In conjunction with experimental data from B Factories, over the next few years, lattice QCD may provide clues to physics beyond the Standard Model. These lectures provide a non-technical introduction to lattice QCD, some of the recent results, QCD computers, and the future prospects. 1 The need for numerical simulation For almost 30 years, the Standard Model (SM) has provided a remarkably successful quantitative description of three of the four forces of Nature: strong, electromagnetic and weak. Now that we have compelling evidence for neutrino masses, we are beginning, at last, to glimpse physics beyond the SM. This new physics must exist, because the SM does not incorporate a quantum theory of gravity. However, the fact that no experiment has falsified the SM, despite very high precision measurements, suggests that the essential new physics occurs at higher energies than we can explore today, probably around the TeV scale, which will be accessible to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Consequently, the SM will probably remain the most appropriate effective theory up to this scale. QCD is part of the SM. On its own, it is a fully self-consistent quantum field theory of quarks and gluons, whose only inputs are the strength of the coupling between these fields and the quark masses. These inputs are presumably determined by the "Theory of Everything" in which the SM is embedded. For now, we must determine them from experiment, although you will see that to do so involves numerical simulation in an essential way, and this could yet reveal problems with the SM at current energies. Given these inputs, QCD is an enormously rich and predictive theory. With today's algorithms, some of the calculations require computers more powerful than have ever been built, although not beyond the capability of existing technology.
