Abstract: (arXiv)
We present a lattice QCD calculation of the scattering phase shift for the I=2 SS-wave two-pion system using the finite size method proposed by L\"uscher. We work in the quenched approximation employing the standard plaquette action at β=5.9\beta=5.9 for gluons and the Wilson fermion action for quarks. The phase shift is extracted from the energy eigenvalues of the two-pion system, which are obtained by a diagonalization of the pion 4-point function evaluated for a set of relative spatial momenta. In order to change momentum of the two-pion system, calculations are carried out on 243×6024^3\times 60, 323×6032^3\times 60, and 483×6048^3\times 60 lattices. The phase shift is successfully calculated over the momentum range 0<p2<0.3GeV20 < p^2 < 0.3 {\rm GeV}^2.
