Efficient solution of the multi-channel Lüscher determinant condition through eigenvalue decomposition

arXiv:2001.08474 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.101.114505

Abstract

We present a method for efficiently finding solutions of Lüscher's quantisation condition, the equation which relates two-particle scattering amplitudes to the discrete spectrum of states in a periodic spatial volume of finite extent such as that present in lattice QCD. The approach proposed is based on an eigenvalue decomposition in the space of coupled-channels and partial-waves, which proves to have several desirable and simplifying features that are of great benefit when considering problems beyond simple elastic scattering of spinless particles. We illustrate the method with a toy model of vector-vector scattering featuring a high density of solutions, and with an application to explicit lattice QCD energy level data describing and scattering in several coupled channels.
