Title: Isoscalar ππ Scattering and the σ Meson Resonance from QCD

Abstract

Here, we present for the first time a determination of the energy dependence of the isoscalar ππ elastic scattering phase-shift within a first-principles numerical lattice approach to QCD. We also compute the hadronic correlation functions including all required quark propagation diagrams. From these the discrete spectrum of states in the finite volume defined by the lattice boundary is extracted. From the volume dependence of the spectrum we obtain the S-wave phase-shift up to the K$$\bar{K}$$ threshold. Calculations are performed at two values of the u, d quark mass corresponding to mπ = 236, 391 MeV and the resulting amplitudes are described in terms of a σ meson which evolves from a bound-state below ππ threshold at the heavier quark mass, to a broad resonance at the lighter quark mass.
