Phase Shift with LapH Propagators

Abstract

The pion-pion scattering phase shift is computed using LapH propagators. The LapH method for computing quark propagators is used to form two-particle correlation functions with a number of different operators. Excited state energies of two-particle states on 2+1 dynamical, anisotropic lattices (Mpi=390 MeV) are computed to determine the phase shift in the isospin-2 channel. The signal for t-to-t diagrams for the isospin-0 channel are also presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the stochastic LapH method which combines LapH with diluted Z4 noise sources.
