Abstract: (APS)

Using a first-principles calculation within quantum chromodynamics, we are able to determine a pattern of strangeness=1 resonances that appear as complex singularities within coupled πK-ηK scattering amplitudes. We make use of numerical computation in the lattice discretized approach to the quantum field theory with light quark masses corresponding to mπ400MeV and at a single lattice spacing. The energy dependence of scattering amplitudes is extracted through their relationship to the discrete spectrum in a finite volume, which we map out in unprecedented detail.
