Abstract
We calculate the string tension and and glueball masses in pure gauge QCD using an improved lattice action. We compare various smearing methods, and find that the best glueball signal is obtained using smeared Wilson loops of a size of about 0.5 fm. Our results for mass ratios and are consistent with those computed with the simple plaquette action.
