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 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 discuss an exact relation between the two-particle scattering amplitude and the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) wave function inside the interaction range in quantum field theory. In the relation the reduced BS wave function defined by the BS wave function plays an essential role. Through the relation the on-shell and half off-shell amplitudes can be calculated. We also show that the solution of Schrodinger equation with the effective potential determined from the BS wave function gives a correct on-shell scattering amplitude only at the momentum where the effective potential is determined. Furthermore we discuss a derivative expansion of the reduced BS wave function and a condition to obtain results independent of the interpolating operators in the time-dependent HALQCD method.
We reexamine the relations between the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) wave function of two particles, the on-shell scattering amplitude, and the effective potential in quantum filed theory. It is emphasized that there is an exact relation between the BS wave function inside the interaction range and the scattering amplitude, and the reduced BS wave function, which is defined in this article, plays an essential role in this relation. Based on the exact relation, we show that the solution of Schrodinger equation with the effective potential gives us a correct on-shell scattering amplitude only at the momentum where the effective potential is calculated, while wrong results are obtained from the Schrodinger equation at general momenta. We also discuss about a momentum expansion of the reduced BS wave function and an uncertainty of the scattering amplitude stemming from the choice of the interpolating operator in the BS wave function. The theoretical conclusion obtained in this article could give hints to understand the inconsistency observed in lattice QCD calculation of the two-nucleon channels with different approaches.
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 reemphasize the momentum dependence of the coefficients of the derivative expansion as already explained in our paper [1]. We also discuss how the momentum dependence plagues the time-dependent HALQCD method and what is a necessary condition for the method to yield valid results being independent of the choice of the interpolating operators.
