Finite-volume Hamiltonian method for ππ scattering in lattice QCD

Abstract

Within a formulation of pi pi scattering, we investigate the use of the finite-volume Hamiltonian ap- proach to resolving scattering observables from lattice QCD spectra. We consider spectra in the centre-of-mass and moving frames for both S- and P-wave cases. Furthermore, we investigate the multi-channel case. Here we study the use of the Hamiltonian framework as a parametrization that can be fit directly to lattice spectra. Through this method, the hadron properties, such as mass, width and coupling, can be directly extracted from the lattice spectra.
