Abstract
Even if QCD is the correct theory of strong interactions, we are still a long way off from being able to actually calculate hadronic properties, such as the masses and couplings of observed particles, from the fundamental lagrangian of the theory. Since the determination of the spectrum of QCD is a problem which presumably will never be solved exactly one must of course introduce either some approximation scheme or some model (usually both). Several such schemes or models have been developed over the years. Let me mention, in particular
-
Monte Carlo simulations on a lattice
-
bag models
-
potential models
-
QCD sum rules

Since the original work of reference [1], many excellent reviews have been written on various applications of the sum rules. Let me mention, in particular L.J. Reinders, H. Rubinstein and S. Yazaki, Phys. Rep. 127 (1985) 1 where a complete list of references can be found.
