Abstract

We investigate an application of twisted boundary conditions for study of low-energy hadron-hadron interactions with L\"ushcer's finite size method. It allows us to calculate the phase shifts for elastic scattering of two hadrons at any small value of the scattering momentum even in a finite volume. We then can extract model independent information of low-energy scattering parameters such as the scattering length, the effective range and the effective volume from the $S$-wave and $P$-wave scattering phase shifts through the effective range expansion. This approach also enables us to examine the existence of near-threshold and narrow resonance states, of which characteristic is observed in many of newly discovered charmonium-like $XYZ$ mesons. As a simple example, we demonstrate our method for low-energy $J/\psi$-$\phi$ scatterings to search for Y(4140) resonance using 2+1 flavor PACS-CS gauge configurations at the lightest pion mass, $m_{\pi}=156$ MeV.

Improving the Volume Dependence of Two-Body Binding Energies Calculated with Lattice QCD

Martin J. Savage, Zohreh Davoudi (2011)

Volume modifications to the binding of two-body systems in large cubic volumes of extent L depend upon the total momentum and exponentially upon the ratio of L to the size of the boosted system. Recent work by Bour et al determined the momentum dependence of the leading volume modifications to nonrelativistic systems with periodic boundary conditions imposed on the single-particle wavefunctions, enabling them to numerically determine the scattering of such bound states using a low-energy effective field theory and Luscher's finite-volume method. The calculation of bound nuclear systems directly from QCD using Lattice QCD has begun, and it is important to reduce the systematic uncertainty introduced into such calculations by the finite spatial extent of the gauge-field configurations. We extend the work of Bour et al from nonrelativistic quantum mechanics to quantum field theory by generalizing the work of Luscher and of Gottlieb and Rummukainen to boosted two-body bound states. The volume modifications to binding energies can be exponentially reduced from ~ e^{-kappa L}/L to ~ e^{-2 kappa L}/L in nonrelativistic systems (where kappa is the binding momentum of the state) by forming particular combinations of the binding energies determined in the four lowest-lying boosted systems. Relativistic corrections to this combination, and others, that violate the exponential reduction are determined. An analysis of what can be expected from Lattice QCD calculations of the deuteron is performed, the results of which are representative of a generic loosely bound system.
