away all of the other unwanted states. An additional smallvolume simulation is done to assist in this identification and to study the systematic errors from finite volume. Finally, discretization errors are treated by extrapolating the energies to the continuum limit and determining the continuum spin quantum numbers. The end result is a nearly complete survey of the glueball spectrum in the pure gauge theory below 4 GeV. We find a total of 13 glueballs; two other tentative candidates are also located. With the exception of the light glueballs in the 0 11 sector, our results significantly improve upon those from previous studies @2‐4# of the complete lowlying glueball spectrum. This paper is organized as follows. The details of the simulations, including the construction of the glueball operators, the generation of the gauge-field configurations, the extraction of energies from Monte Carlo estimates of the correlation functions, and the lattice spacing determinations in terms of the hadronic scale r 0, are described in Sec. II. All of our energy estimates in terms of the inverse temporal lattice spacing are presented in this section. In Sec. III, the differentiation of single glueball states from two-glueball and torelon-pair states is discussed. Systematic errors from finite volume are studied in Sec. IV. The removal of lattice spacing errors, including the extrapolations to the continuum limit and the identification of the continuum spin quantum numbers, is described in Sec. V. We also discuss the problematical scalar states in this section and cite ongoing efforts to reduce their discretization errors. Section VI presents a discussion of the spectrum, and our findings are summarized with an outline of future work in the concluding Sec. VII.
