\(\pi\pi\rightarrow\rho\) scattering

Craig Pelissier defended his proposal to measure the mass and width of the \(\rho\) resonance. You can find his proposal here.

We will generate two sets of lattices:

  • symmetric lattices with cubic symmetry ( _LAB_ )
  • elongated lattices ( _COM_ )

Here is the e-mail from Craig regarding the choice of lattice sizes:


LAB

  • lattice spacing \(a = 0.0997991 {\rm fm}\)
  • pion mass \(m_\pi = 330 {\rm MeV}\)
  • lattice size \(N_x=N_y=N_z = 18, 20, 22, 24, 26\) (20 is the lattice size with the smallest difference between the first excited state and the resonance).
  • \(N_t = 48\)

The bold numbers indicate the relevant sizes to measure \(\rho\).


COM

  • lattice spacing \(a = 0.0997991 {\rm fm}\)
  • pion mass \(m_\pi = 330 {\rm MeV}\)
  • elongated direction \(N_z = 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 ,52, 54, 56\) (48 is the lattice size set such that the first excited state equals the resonance).
  • \(N_t = 48\)
  • \(N_x=N_y= 24\)

The bold numbers indicate the relevant sizes to measure \(\rho\).


To generate a lattice spacing with the right value we set \(\beta\) using the results quoted in Lattice spacing. We find the following parameters:

  • \(\beta=5.961\)
  • \(n_{OR} = 8\)
  • \(n_{skip} = 180\)
