We extract scattering phases for fermion-fermion scattering from Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional Gross-Neveu model. This is done by means of L\"uscher's method, which exploits the volume dependence of the energies of…
The Gross-Neveu model is a quantum field theory model of Dirac fermions in two dimensions with a quartic interaction term. Like Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions, the model is scaling critical (i.e. renormalizable but not…
In quark potential models the hyperfine splitting of P-wave mesons is zero in the nonrelativistic limit, a prediction strikingly confirmed by experiment in both charmonia and bottomonia. The result, however, ignores the coupling of bare…
