  Merons, conjectured as a semiclassical mechanism for color confinement in
QCD, are topological charge-1/2, singular solutions to the classical Yang-Mills
equations of motion. I will discuss how lattice techniques can extend the study
of merons to nonsingular stationary solutions without destroying properties
believed to be essential for confinement, and how zero modes can be used to
identify these gauge field configurations in stochastic evaluations of the
lattice QCD path integral.
