Title: Two-flavor simulations of ρ(770) and the role of the K K ¯ channel

Abstract

Here, the ρ(770) meson is the most extensively studied resonance in lattice QCD simulations in two (Nf = 2) and three (Nf = 2 + 1) flavor formulations. We analyze Nf = 2 lattice scattering data using unitarized chiral perturbation theory, allowing not only for the extrapolation in mass but also in flavor, Nf = 2 → Nf = 2 + 1. The flavor extrapolation requires information from a global fit to ππ and πK phase shifts from experiment. While the chiral extrapolation of Nf = 2 lattice data leads to masses of the ρ(770) meson far below the experimental one, we find that the missing KK¯ channel is able to explain this discrepancy.
