Quenched Hadron Spectrum and Decay Constants on the lattice

In this talk we present the results obtained from a study of ${\cal O}(2000)$ (quenched) lattice configurations from the APE collaboration, at $6.0\leβ\le 6.4$, using both the Wilson and the SW-Clover fermion action. We determine the light hadronic spectrum and the meson decay constants. For the light-light systems we find an agreement with the experimental data of $\sim 5$ for mesonic masses and $\sim 10$ for baryonic masses and pseudoscalar decay constants; a larger deviation is present for the vector decay constants. For the heavy-light decay constants we find $f_{D_s}=237 \pm 16 MeV, f_{D} = 221 \pm 17 MeV (f_{D_s}/f_D=1.07(4)), f_{B_s} = 205 \pm 35 MeV, f_{B} = 180 \pm 32 MeV (f_{B_s}/f_B=1.14(8))$, in good agreement with previous estimates.
