Abstract: (Elsevier)
The mass spectrum of a meson-meson system in compact three-dimensional lattice quantum electrodynamics is computed from a time correlation matrix with staggered fermions. The energy levels indicate a slightly attractive residual interaction between the mesons. From the finite-volume spectrum scattering phase shifts within the various irreducible representations of the (cubic, d = 2) lattice symmetry group are extracted. The s-wave (ℓ = 0) phase shifts are consistent with repulsion at small relative distance. The d-wave (ℓ = 2) data indicate intermediate-range attraction.- quantum electrodynamics: compact
