Hadronic Interactions From Lattice QCD

Abstract: We present an overview of recent efforts to calculate the interactions among hadrons using lattice QCD. After outlining the techniques that are used to extract scattering parameters, we detail the latest calculations of meson-meson scattering, baryon-baryon scattering and multi-meson systems obtained with domain-wall valence quarks on the staggered MILC lattices by the NPLQCD collaboration. Estimates of the computational resources required to achieve precision results in the baryon sector are presented. * Revi… Show more

“…Refs. [28,19,20,21,22] and references therein), the same conclusion can be obtained without the large-N arguments. In the low-energy regime of QCD, the lowest-lying pseudoscalar mesons π, K and η can be treated as the (Pseudo-)Goldstone bosons of the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, and their interactions among themselves and with other particles can be described by chiral perturbation theory (CHPT) [29,30].…”

“…While many lattice theorists are interested in calculating hadronic quantities that are relevant for an understanding of physics beyond the standard model, there exists an entirely independent motivation: there are many intrinsically interesting hadronic quantities for which there is essentially no experimental information, and for these quantities lattice QCD calculations will have substantial impact. For instance, while there were several experiments decades ago which measured the lowenergy hyperon-nucleon (YN) interaction, very little is known about such basic scattering quantities as the scattering lengths and effective ranges 1 And yet, for instance, the Σ − n interaction is an important ingredient in the nuclear Equation of State that determines the fate of dense astrophysical objects like neutron stars [5]. Yet another quantity of interest is h πNN , the parity-violating, flavor conserving, pion-nucleon coupling constant.…”

“…After many decades of intense experimental effort this quantity remains mysterious, and while a lattice determination poses serious challenges [6], the required computer-time resources constitute a minute fraction of what is required for an experiment in nuclear or particle physics. As a final example, the Kπ scattering lengths have recently been determined using lattice QCD [5], providing a prediction for the global experimental effort led by the DIRAC collaboration [7] to measure these quantities by observing the decays of mesonic atoms.…”
