From deep inelastic scattering to heavy-flavor semileptonic decays: Total rates into multihadron final states from lattice QCD

Abstract: We present a new technique for extracting decay and transition rates into final states with any number of hadrons. The approach is only sensitive to total rates, in which all out-states with a given set of QCD quantum numbers are included. For processes involving photons or leptons, differential rates with respect to the non-hadronic kinematics may also be extracted. Our method involves constructing a finite-volume Euclidean four-point function, whose corresponding spectral function measures the decay and tran… Show more

“…Scattering amplitudes cannot be directly computed as infinite-volume limits of finite-volume observables. However, even without fully resolving the three-body dynamics explicitly, methods exist that take into account the contribution of three-body states [15][16][17][18]. These methods connect finite-volume data with infinite volume properties using either the optical potential or by extracting the spectral density from a correlator.…”

“…D 97, 034513 (2018) 034513-29 relevant for D 0 mixing. More recently, Hansen, Meyer, and Robaina proposed a new method to extract the spectral function for multi-hadron transition rates from finite-volume four-point correlation functions [114]. In the coming years, these new approaches may be implemented in numerical lattice-QCD calculations and lead to more quantitative estimates of long-distance contributions to neutral D-meson mixing.…”

“…Note that, as shown in Refs. [28,29], without mapping out the full three-body dynamics explicitly, one can access certain bulk properties of the scattering amplitude (including intermediate three-body channels). For example, the use of an optical potential [29] allows one to access resonances in a finite volume even in the presence of multiple channels and particles.…”
