Title: P -wave nucleon-pion scattering amplitude in the Δ ( 1232 ) channel from lattice QCD

Journal Article · · Physical Review D

We determine the $$\Delta(1232)$$ resonance parameters using lattice QCD and the Lüscher method. The resonance occurs in elastic pion-nucleon scattering with $J^P=3/2^+$ in the isospin $I = 3/2$, $$P$$-wave channel. Our calculation is performed with $$N_f=2+1$$ flavors of clover fermions on a lattice with $$L\approx 2.8$$ fm. The pion and nucleon masses are $$m_\pi =255.4(1.6)$$ MeV and $$m_N=1073(5)$$ MeV, and the strong decay channel $$\Delta \rightarrow \pi N$$ is found to be above the threshold. To thoroughly map out the energy-dependence of the nucleon-pion scattering amplitude, we compute the spectra in all relevant irreducible representations of the lattice symmetry groups for total momenta up to $$\vec{P}=\frac{2\pi}{L}(1,1,1)$$, including irreps that mix $$S$$ and $$P$$ waves. We perform global fits of the amplitude parameters to up to 21 energy levels, using a Breit-Wigner model for the $$P$$-wave phase shift and the effective-range expansion for the $$S$$-wave phase shift. From the location of the pole in the $$P$$-wave scattering amplitude, we obtain the resonance mass $$m_\Delta=1378(7)(9)$$ MeV and the coupling $$g_{\Delta\text{-}\pi N}=23.8(2.7)(0.9)$$.
