Lattice Hadron Physics

Lattice Hadron Physics draws upon the developments made in recent years in implementing chirality on the lattice via the overlap formalism. These developments exploit chiral effective field theory in order to extrapolate lattice results to physical quark masses, new forms of improving operators to remove lattice artefacts, analytical studies of finite-volume effects in hadronic observables, and state-of-the-art lattice calculations of excited resonances. This volume, comprised ofselected lectures,is designed to assist those outside the field who want quickly to become literate in these topics. As such,it providesgraduate students and experienced researchers in other areas of hadronic physics withthe background through which they can appreciate, if not become active in, contemporary lattice-gauge theory and its applications to hadronic phenomena.
