Abstract

The phase shift of the O(4) symmetric ϕ4\phi^4 theory in the symmetric phase is calculated numerically using the relation between phase shift and energy levels of two-particle states recently derived by L\"{u}scher. The results agree with the prediction of perturbation theory. A practical difficulty of the method for a reliable extraction of the phase shift for large momenta due to the necessity of a precise determination of excited two-particle energy levels is pointed out.
