Finite volume effects for the pion mass at two loops

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-11-11 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We evaluate the pion mass in finite volume to two loops within Chiral Perturbation Theory. The results are compared with a recently proposed extension of the asymptotic formula of Luscher. We find that contributions, which were neglected in the latter, are numerically very small at the two-loop level and conclude that for Mpi*L>2, L>2fm the finite volume effects in the meson sector are analytically well under control.
