Meson-Meson Scattering in Lattice QED_2+1

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

Scattering phase shifts of a meson-meson system in staggered 3-dimensional lattice QED are computed. The main task of the simulation is to obtain a discrete set of two-body energy levels. These are extracted from a 4-point time correlation matrix and then used to obtain scattering phase shifts. The results for the l=0 and l=2 partial waves are consistent with short- range repulsion and intermediate-range attraction of the residual meson- meson interaction.
