In these proceedings, I will review lattice QCD calculations of baryon-baryon scattering, their methods, and their challenges. In the last few years, there has been a new generation of calculations with increased focus on controlling…
We report on the first application of the stochastic Laplacian Heaviside method for computing multi-particle interactions with lattice QCD to the two-nucleon system. Like the Laplacian Heaviside method, this method allows for the…
We present a lattice QCD spectroscopy study in the isospin singlet, strangeness $-2$ sectors relevant for the conjectured $H$ dibaryon. We employ both local and bilocal interpolating operators to isolate the ground state in the rest frame…
We apply the low-energy theorems to analyze the recent lattice QCD results for the two-nucleon system at a pion mass of $M_\pi\simeq 450$ MeV obtained by the NPLQCD collaboration. We find that the binding energies of the deuteron and…
We report on our on-going effort to calculate the properties of light nuclei directly from quarks and gluons based on lattice QCD. After briefly introducing our motivations and aims, we describe our strategy of fixing the strange quark mass…
We compute the Form Factors of both neutral and charged pion using a non-perturbative running of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ obtained using a double-dilaton Holographic QCD model. These form factors remain poorly understood in…
We study near-threshold $D\bar{D}$ scattering in $S$ and $D$-wave to determine whether or not resonances or bound states are present. Working in the approximation where charm-annihilation is forbidden, with two degenerate light-quark…
We present a precise lattice QCD calculation of the contribution to the neutron-proton mass splitting arising from strong isospin breaking, $m_n-m_p|_{QCD}=2.32\pm0.17$ MeV. We also determine $m_{\Xi^-} - m_{\Xi^0}|_{QCD} = 5.44\pm0.31$…
Results of a high-statistics, multi-volume Lattice QCD exploration of the deuteron, the di-neutron, the H-dibaryon, and the Xi-Xi- system at a pion mass of m ~ 390 MeV are presented. Calculations were performed with an anisotropic n_f = 2+1…
I report recent developments on hadron interactions in lattice QCD by the HAL QCD method. As an introduction, I summarize the lattice community's consensus on the absence of the deeply bound dinucleons at heavier pion masses. We then…
The low-energy neutron-Sigma^- interactions determine, in part, the role of the strange quark in dense matter, such as that found in astrophysical environments. The scattering phase shifts for this system are obtained from a numerical…
Isospin-1/2 charmed axial-vector $D^*\pi-D^*\eta-D^*_s\bar{K}$ scattering amplitudes are computed, along with interactions in several other $I=1/2$ $J^P$ channels. Using lattice QCD, we work at a light-quark mass corresponding to…
Using lattice QCD, a diquark can be studied in a gauge-invariant manner by binding it to a static quark in a heavy-light-light hadron. We compute the simultaneous two-quark density of a diquark, including corrections for periodic boundary…
In recent years, a persistent tension between phenomenological and lattice QCD determinations of the pion-nucleon $\sigma$-term $\sigma_{\pi N}$ has developed. In particular, lattice-QCD calculations have matured to the point that…

The low-energy spectrum and scattering of two-nucleon systems are studied with lattice quantum chromodynamics using a variational approach. A wide range of interpolating operators are used: dibaryon operators built from products of…
The H-dibaryon is the exotic multiquark state with baryon number 2 and strangeness $-2$. The existence of the deeply bound H-dibaryon is excluded by the observation of the double hypernuclei. However the recent Lattice QCD simulations have…
We present results of the first fully-dynamical lattice QCD determination of hyperon-nucleon scattering. One s-wave phase shift was determined for n Lambda scattering in both spin-channels at pion masses of 350, 490, and 590 MeV, and for n…
We present preliminary results on the $I=0$, $S=-2$ $H$ dibaryon in $N_{\rm f}=2+1$ QCD. The calculation is performed with heavier-than-physical quarks ($m_\pi \approx 280$ MeV) on a single CLS ensemble. Correlation matrices are constructed…
