Description

Reconstructing the spectrum of QCD in the non-relativistic regime involves the inversion of a Laplace transform. For noisy lattice data, this process is numerically unstable and requires treatment to avoid the emergence of infinitely many spectra. One such treatment is the Backus-Gilbert method, originally applied to seismic wave data, now deployed in the reconstruction of heavy bottomonium meson spectra. We then conclude with a discussion of properties of the Laplace transform and how they may be manipulated to improve the resolution of the reconstruction.
