On the computation of hadron-to-hadron transition matrix elements in lattice QCD

Abstract

We discuss the accurate determination of matrix elements < f| h_w | i > where neither |i> nor |f> is the vacuum state and h_w is some operator. Using solutions of the Generalized Eigenvalue Problem (GEVP) we construct estimators for matrix elements which converge rapidly as a function of the Euclidean time separations involved. |i> and |f> may be either the ground state in a given hadron channel or an excited state. Apart from a model calculation, the estimators are demonstrated to work well for the computation of the B*B pi-coupling in the quenched approximation. They are also compared to a standard ratio as well as to the "summed ratio method" of [1,2,3]. In the model, we also illustrate the ordinary use of the GEVP for energy levels.
