Abstract

In the proceedings of HADRON 2015 we outlined a proposal for a string solution of large-N QCD, that is a candidate to satisfy fundamental properties such as the asymptotic freedom of the QCD S-matrix. Here we examine in more detail the implications for the large-N glueball and meson spectrum, that we compare with Particle Data Group (2015) and lattice gauge-theory computations at large N.
