Nucleon-nucleon scattering from distillation

Abstract

We report an ongoing analysis of nucleon-nucleon scattering based on finite-volume spectroscopy. The calculation is performed using the distillation method on eight lattice ensembles at the SU(3)-symmetric point with $m_\pi=m_K\approx 420$ MeV generated by CLS, covering a range of lattice spacings and volumes and previously used to study the $H$ dibaryon. We obtain nonzero signals for $S$, $P$, $D$, and $F$ waves as well as the mixing between spin-1 $S$ and $D$ waves. For $S$ waves, lattice artifacts are significant and tend to strengthen baryon-baryon interactions. In the deuteron and dineutron $S$ waves, we find virtual bound states.
