The pi+pi+ s-wave scattering phase-shift is determined below the inelastic threshold using Lattice QCD. Calculations were performed at a pion mass of m_pi~390 MeV with an anisotropic n_f=2+1 clover fermion discretization in four lattice volumes, with spatial extent L~2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.9 fm, and with a lattice spacing of b_s~0.123 fm in the spatial direction and b_t b_s/3.5 in the time direction. The phase-shift is determined from the energy-eigenvalues of pi+pi+ systems with both zero and non-zero total momentum in the lattice volume using Luschers method. Our calculations are precise enough to allow for a determination of the threshold scattering parameters, the scattering length a, the effective range r, and the shape-parameter P, in this channel and to examine the prediction of two-flavor chiral perturbation theory: m_pi^2 a r = 3+O(m_pi^2/Lambda_chi^2). Chiral perturbation theory is used, with the Lattice QCD results as input, to predict the scattering phase-shift (and threshold parameters) at the physical pion mass. Our results are consistent with determinations from the Roy equations and with the existing experimental phase shift data.

We calculate the parameters describing elastic $I=1$, $P$-wave $pipi$ scattering using lattice QCD with $2+1$ flavors of clover fermions. Our calculation is performed with a pion mass of $m_pi approx 320::{rm MeV}$ and a lattice size of $Lapprox 3.6$ fm. We construct the two-point correlation matrices with both quark-antiquark and two-hadron interpolating fields using a combination of smeared forward, sequential and stochastic propagators. The spectra in all relevant irreducible representations for total momenta $|vec{P}| leq sqrt{3} frac{2pi}{L}$ are extracted with two alternative methods: a variational analysis as well as multi-exponential matrix fits. We perform an analysis using Luschers formalism for the energies below the inelastic thresholds, and investigate several phase shift models, including possible nonresonant contributions. We find that our data are well described by the minimal Breit-Wigner form, with no statistically significant nonresonant component. In determining the $rho$ resonance mass and coupling we compare two different approaches: fitting the individually extracted phase shifts versus fitting the $t$-matrix model directly to the energy spectrum. We find that both methods give consistent results, and at a pion mass of $am_{pi}=0.18295(36)_{stat}$ obtain $g_{rhopipi} = 5.69(13)_{stat}(16)_{sys}$, $am_rho = 0.4609(16)_{stat}(14)_{sys}$, and $am_{rho}/am_{N} = 0.7476(38)_{stat}(23)_{sys} $, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is the systematic uncertainty due to the choice of fit ranges.
Phase shifts for $s$-wave $pipi$ scattering in both the $I=0$ and $I=2$ channels are determined from a lattice QCD calculation performed on 741 gauge configurations obeying G-parity boundary conditions with a physical pion mass and lattice size of $32^3times 64$. These results support our recent study of direct CP violation in $Ktopipi$ decay cite{Abbott:2020hxn}, improving our earlier 2015 calculation cite{Bai:2015nea}. The phase shifts are determined for both stationary and moving $pipi$ systems, at three ($I=0$) and four ($I=2$) different total momenta. We implement several $pipi$ interpolating operators including a scalar bilinear $sigma$ operator and paired single-pion bilinear operators with the constituent pions carrying various relative momenta. Several techniques, including correlated fitting and a bootstrap determination of p-values have been used to refine the results and a comparison with the generalized eigenvalue problem (GEVP) method is given. A detailed systematic error analysis is performed which allows phase shift results to be presented at a fixed energy.
We present results for the isospin-0 $pipi$ s-wave scattering length calculated with Osterwalder-Seiler valence quarks on Wilson twisted mass gauge configurations. We use three $N_f = 2$ ensembles with unitary (valence) pion mass at its physical value (250$sim$MeV), at 240$sim$MeV (320$sim$MeV) and at 330$sim$MeV (400$sim$MeV), respectively. By using the stochastic Laplacian Heaviside quark smearing method, all quark propagation diagrams contributing to the isospin-0 $pipi$ correlation function are computed with sufficient precision. The chiral extrapolation is performed to obtain the scattering length at the physical pion mass. Our result $M_pi a^mathrm{I=0}_0 = 0.198(9)(6)$ agrees reasonably well with various experimental measurements and theoretical predictions. Since we only use one lattice spacing, certain systematics uncertainties, especially those arising from unitary breaking, are not controlled in our result.
We present a lattice-QCD determination of the elastic isospin-$1/2$ $S$-wave and $P$-wave $Kpi$ scattering amplitudes as a function of the center-of-mass energy using Luschers method. We perform global fits of $K$-matrix parametrizations to the finite-volume energy spectra for all irreducible representations with total momenta up to $sqrt{3}frac{2pi}{L}$; this includes irreps that mix the $S$- and $P$-waves. Several different parametrizations for the energy dependence of the $K$-matrix are considered. We also determine the positions of the nearest poles in the scattering amplitudes, which correspond to the broad $kappa$ resonance in the $S$-wave and the narrow $K^*(892)$ resonance in the $P$-wave. Our calculations are performed with $2+1$ dynamical clover fermions for two different pion masses of $317.2(2.2)$ and $175.9(1.8)$ MeV. Our preferred $S$-wave parametrization is based on a conformal map and includes an Adler zero; for the $P$-wave we use a standard pole parametrization including Blatt-Weisskopf barrier factors. The $S$-wave $kappa$-resonance pole positions are found to be $left[0.86(12) - 0.309(50),iright]:{rm GeV}$ at the heavier pion mass and $left[0.499(55)- 0.379(66),iright]:{rm GeV}$ at the lighter pion mass. The $P$-wave $K^*$-resonance pole positions are found to be $left[ 0.8951(64) - 0.00250(21),i right]:{rm GeV}$ at the heavier pion mass and $left[0.8718(82) - 0.0130(11),iright]:{rm GeV}$ at the lighter pion mass, which corresponds to couplings of $g_{K^* Kpi}=5.02(26)$ and $g_{K^* Kpi}=4.99(22)$, respectively.
We present a determination of nucleon-nucleon scattering phase shifts for l >= 0. The S, P, D and F phase shifts for both the spin-triplet and spin-singlet channels are computed with lattice Quantum ChromoDynamics. For l > 0, this is the first lattice QCD calculation using the Luscher finite-volume formalism. This required the design and implementation of novel lattice methods involving displaced sources and momentum-space cubic sinks. To demonstrate the utility of our approach, the calculations were performed in the SU(3)-flavor limit where the light quark masses have been tuned to the physical strange quark mass, corresponding to m_pi = m_K ~ 800 MeV. In this work, we have assumed that only the lowest partial waves contribute to each channel, ignoring the unphysical partial wave mixing that arises within the finite-volume formalism. This assumption is only valid for sufficiently low energies; we present evidence that it holds for our study using two different channels. Two spatial volumes of V ~ (3.5 fm)^3 and V ~ (4.6 fm)^3 were used. The finite-volume spectrum is extracted from the exponential falloff of the correlation functions. Said spectrum is mapped onto the infinite volume phase shifts using the generalization of the Luscher formalism for two-nucleon systems.
