Abstract
We show how the Langevin equation for SU(3) gauge fields can be used to compute glueball correlation functions at large separation. On a 6×6×6×6 lattice we estimate the mass of the lowest glueball by determining the corresponding correlation function at separations 0, 1, 2, and 3. Several values for the coupling constant are investigated which lie in a region where scaling behavior for the string tension is observed. Our preliminary study indicates or alternatively .
