Isotropic and Anisotropic Lattice Spacing Corrections for I=2 pi-pi Scattering from Effective Field Theory
Abstract
Description
The calculation of the finite lattice spacing corrections for I=2 pi-pi scattering is carried out for isotropic and anisotropic Wilson lattice actions. Pion masses and decay constants are also determined in this context. These results correct the phase shift calculated from the lattice, which is connected to the scattering length and effective range in this low energy scattering process. When in terms of the lattice-physical parameters for either Wilson action, these lattice spacing effects first appear at the next-to-leading order counter-terms.
