Higher order quantization conditions for two spinless particles

Abstract

Lattice QCD calculations of scattering phaseshifts and resonance parameters in the two-body sector are becoming precision studies. Early calculations employed Lüscher's formula for extracting these quantities at lowest order. As the calculations become more ambitious, higher-order relations are required. In this study we derive higher-order quantization conditions and introduce a method to transparently cross-check our results. This is an important step given the involved derivations of these formulae. We derive quantization conditions up to ℓ = 5 partial waves in both cubic and elongated geometries, and for states with zero and non-zero total momentum. All 45 quantization conditions we include here (22 in cubic box, 23 in elongated box) pass our cross-check test.
