Recent results studying the masses and widths of low-lying baryon resonances in lattice QCD are presented. The $S$-wave $N\pi$ scattering lengths for both total isospins $I = 1/2$ and $I = 3/2$ are inferred from the finite-volume spectrum…
The pi-N s-wave scattering lengths have been inferred from a joint analysis of the pionic hydrogen and the pionic deuterium x-ray data using a non-relativistic approach in which the pi-N interaction is simulated by a short-ranged potential.…
In this short note we show that (I) in a QCD-like theory with four (rather than two) degenerate flavors $ud u'd'$, the $\pi\pi'$ scattering length is positive (attractive); and (II) in QCD with only two (u,d) degenerate flavors the I=2…
Using two flavors of maximally twisted mass fermions, we calculate the S-wave pion-pion scattering length in the isospin I=2 channel and the P-wave pion-pion scattering phase in the isospin I=1 channel. In the former channel, the lattice…

We make a theoretical study of $\pi\pi$ scattering with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ in a finite box. To calculate physical observables for infinite volume from lattice QCD, the finite box dependence of the potentials is not usually…
In this paper, the $IJ=00, 11, 20$ partial wave $\pi\pi$ scattering phase shifts determined by the lattice QCD approach are analyzed by using a novel dispersive solution of the S-matrix, i.e. the PKU representation, in which the unitarity…
We calculate the $T$-matrices of elastic pion-nucleon ($\pi N$) scattering up to fourth order in SU(3) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. The pertinent low-energy constants are determined by fitting to $\pi N$ phase shifts below 200…
The role of the quark condensate for the low energy structure of QCD is discussed in some detail. In particular, the dependence of M_pi on m_u and m_d and the low energy theorems for the pi-pi scattering amplitude are reviewed. The new data…
CP-violating signals in weak $ \Xi\to \pi \Lambda$ decay require the knowledge of $\pi \Lambda$ $S$- and $P$-wave scattering phases at ${m}_{\Xi}$ center-of-mass energy. We have calculated these phases in baryon chiral perturbation theory…
Present status of the study of the low energy $\pi\pi$ interaction is reviewed, including the recent results on reactions $\pi N \to\pi\pi N$ near threshold. Current experimental values of s-wave $\pi\pi$ scattering lengths are compared…
