Abstract

The scattering phase shifts in the channel are extracted from lattice QCD for five different charm quark masses and a fixed light-quark mass corresponding to ~MeV. The phase shifts are analysed employing two approaches: effective range expansion and Lippmann--Schwinger equation derived in the effective field theory. In the latter case, the results imply an attraction at short range parametrised by contact terms and a slight repulsion at long range mediated by one-pion exchange with . The poles in the amplitude across the complex energy plane are extracted and their trajectories are discussed as the charm quark mass is varied. Two complex conjugate poles corresponding to a resonance below threshold are found for close to the physical value. They turn into a pair of virtual states at the largest studied. With further increasing , one virtual pole representing is expected to move towards the two-body threshold and turn into a bound state. The light-quark mass dependence of the pole is briefly discussed using the data on scattering from other lattice collaborations.
