The $I=1$, $J=1$ channel of the O(4) $\lambda \phi^4_4$ theory

Abstract

A Monte Carlo simulation of the $O(4)$ $\lambda \phi^4$ theory in the broken phase is performed on a hypercubic lattice in search of an $I=1$, $J=1$ resonance. We investigate the region of the cutoff theory where the interaction is strong as it is there that a resonance would be expected to have a better chance to form. In that region the presence of an $I=1$, $J=1$ resonance with mass below the cutoff is excluded. NOTE: The full ps file is also available via anonymous ftp to ftp.scri.fsu.edu.
