Abstract

We propose a new method to evaluate the Lellouch-L\"uscher factor which relates the ΔI=3/2\Delta I=3/2 KππK\to\pi\pi matrix elements computed on a finite lattice to the physical (infinite-volume) decay amplitudes. The method relies on the use of partially twisted boundary conditions, which allow the s-wave ππ\pi\pi phase shift to be computed as an almost continuous function of the centre-of-mass relative momentum and hence for its derivative to be evaluated. We successfully demonstrate the feasibility of the technique in an exploratory computation.
