Using lattice QCD we extract $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitudes with isospin--0,1,2 in low partial-waves at two values of the light quark mass corresponding to $m_\pi \sim 283$ and $330$ MeV. We confirm expectations of weak repulsion in…
At the large distances compared to the chiral symmetry breaking scale, a four-quark system $\bar Q \bar Q qq$ (with $Q$ as heavy and $q$ as light quarks) can be treated as two asymptotic mesons interacting via strong residual forces. The…
Recent lattice calculations on the interaction energy of two heavy-light mesons (Q^2\bar{q}^2) are interpreted in terms of the potential of the corresponding single heavy-light meson (Q\bar{q}). This model leads to a large overestimate of…
