We evaluate $I=2$ two-pion scattering length through the scattering amplitude obtained by the Bethe-Salpeter wave function inside the interaction range. The scattering length is computed with $m_pi = 0.52-0.86$ GeV in the quenched lattice QCD. Furthermore, the half-off-shell amplitude is calculated, from which the effective range is extracted. Our results are compared with those by the conventional finite size method and by chiral perturbation theory to confirm consistency.
We propose a method to calculate scattering amplitudes using the Bethe-Salpeter wave function inside the interaction range on the lattice. For an exploratory study of this method, we evaluate a scattering length of $I=2$ S-wave two pions by the use of the on-shell scattering amplitude. Our result is confirmed to be consistent with the value obtained from the conventional finite volume method. The half-off-shell scattering amplitude is also evaluated.
We evaluate scattering amplitudes at on-shell and half off-shell for $I=2$ S-wave two-pion system using the Bethe-Salpeter wave function inside the interaction range in the quenched QCD. The scattering length and effective range are extracted from these scattering amplitudes. Quark mass dependence of them is investigated with the pion mass ranged in $0.52$--$0.86$~GeV. We examine consistency between a result by the conventional finite volume method and our estimate, as well as the phenomenological value.
We present a report on a calculation of scattering length for I=2 $S$-wave two-pion system from two-pion wave function. Calculations are made with an RG-improved action for gluons and improved Wilson action for quarks at $a^{-1}=1.207(12) {rm GeV}$ on $16^3 times 80$, $20^3 times 80$ and $24^3 times 80$ lattices. We investigate the validity of necessary condition for application of Luschers formula through the wave function. We find that the condition is satisfied for lattice volumes $Lge 3.92 {rm fm}$ for the quark mass range $m_pi^2 = 0.273-0.736 {rm GeV}^2$. We also find that the scattering length can be extracted with a smaller statistical error from the wave function than with a time correlation function used in previous studies.
We observe that the ratio of the on-shell scattering amplitude to the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) wave function outside the interaction range is almost independent of time in our quenched calculation of the $I=2$ two-pion scattering with almost zero momentum. In order to discuss the time independence, we present a relation between the two-pion scattering amplitude and the surface term of the BS wave function at the boundary. Using the relation under some assumptions, we show that the ratio is independent of time if the two-pion four-point function in early time is dominated by scattering states with almost zero momentum in addition to the ground state of the two-pion scattering.
We calculate the two-pion wave function in the ground state of the I=2 $S$-wave system and find the interaction range between two pions, which allows us to examine the validity of the necessary condition for the finite-volume method for the scattering length proposed by Luscher. We work in the quenched approximation employing a renormalization group improved gauge action for gluons and an improved Wilson action for quarks at $1/a=1.207(12) {rm GeV}$ on $16^3 times 80$, $20^3 times 80$ and $24^3 times 80$ lattices. We conclude that the necessary condition is satisfied within the statistical errors for the lattice sizes $Lge 24$ ($3.92 {rm fm}$) when the quark mass is in the range that corresponds to $m_pi^2 = 0.273-0.736 {rm GeV}^2$. We obtain the scattering length with a smaller statistical error from the wave function than from the two-pion time correlator.
