Calculation of $rho$ meson decay width from the PACS-CS configurations

We present preliminary results on the $rho$ meson decay width from $N_f=2+1$ full QCD configurations generated by PACS-CS Collaboration. The decay width is estimated from the $P$-wave scattering phase shift for the isospin $I=1$ two-pion system. The finite size formula presented by Luscher in the center of mass frame and its extension to non-zero total momentum frame by Rummukainen and Gottlieb are employed for the calculations of the phase shift. Our calculations are carried out at $m_pi=410 {rm MeV}$ ($m_pi/m_rho=0.46$) and $a=0.091 {rm fm}$ on a $32^3times 64$ ($La=2.9 {rm fm}$) lattice.
