The process of renormalisation in nonperturbative Hamiltonian Effective Field Theory (HEFT) is examined in the ∆-resonance scattering channel. As an extension of effective field theory, HEFT provides a bridge between the infinite-volume scattering data of experiment and the finite-volume spectrum of energy eigenstates in lattice QCD . The extent to which the established features of finite-range regularisation survive in HEFT is examined. While phase shifts withstand large variations in the renormalisation scheme, inelasticities in the two-channel, πN , π∆ case do not. The regularisation-scheme dependence of the Hamiltonian energy eigenvectors is explored to ascertain the conditions under which these eigenvectors provide physically relevant insight into the basis-state composition of the finite volume states. As in perturbative effective field theory, variation in the regularisation scale is compensated by variation in the residual series of short-distance counter terms. Unphysical regulators lead to large corrections in the residual series, resulting in an unphysical Hamiltonian and its associated eigenvectors. Physically relevant regulators are required to maintain convergence in the residual series expansion of the bare basis-state mass; with correct physics contained within the interactions of the Hamiltonian, physical insight can flow from the eigenvectors. A scheme is established for the prediction of the quark-mass dependence of the finite-volume ∆ spectrum, to be observed in future lattice QCD simulations.
