Abstract
Hadronic spectral densities play a pivotal role in particle physics, a prime example being the R-ratio defined from electron-positron scattering into hadrons. To predict them from first principles using Lattice QCD, we face a numerically ill-posed inverse problem, due to the Euclidean signature adopted in practical simulations. Here we present a recent numerical analysis of the vector isovector spectral density extracted using the multi-level algorithm (recently extended also to the case of dynamical fermions) and discuss its implications.
