Conclusions
• Lattice QCD is entering an era where it can make significant contributions in
the interpretation of current experimental results.
• A valuable method for understanding hadronic phenomena
Accurate results on coupling constants, Form factors, moments of
generalized parton distributions are becoming available close to the chiral
regime (m π ~300 MeV).
More complex observables are evaluated e.g excited states,
polarizabilities, scattering lengths, resonances, finite density
First attempts into Nuclear Physics e.g. nuclear force
• Computer technology and new algorithms will deliver 100´s of Teraflop/s in
the next five years
Provide dynamical gauge configurations in the chiral regime
Enable the accurate evaluation of more involved matrix elements
