Abstract

We present the first lattice QCD study of coupled-channel DπD\pi, DηD\eta and DsKˉD_{s}\bar{K} scattering in isospin-1/2 in three partial waves. Using distillation, we compute matrices of correlation functions with bases of operators capable of resolving both meson and meson-meson contributions to the spectrum. These correlation matrices are analysed using a variational approach to extract the finite-volume energy eigenstates. Utilising L\"uscher's method and its extensions, we constrain scattering amplitudes in SS, PP and DD-wave as a function of energy. By analytically continuing the scattering amplitudes to complex energies, we investigate the SS-matrix singularities. Working at mπ391m_\pi \approx 391 MeV, we find a pole corresponding to a JP=0+J^{P} = 0^{+} near-threshold bound state with a large coupling to DπD\pi. We also find a deeply bound JP=1J^{P} = 1^{-} state, and evidence for a JP=2+J^{P} = 2^{+} narrow resonance coupled predominantly to DπD\pi. Elastic DπD\pi scattering in the isospin-3/23/2 channel is studied and we find a weakly repulsive interaction in SS-wave.
