It is usually assumed that a lattice QCD simulation of the two-nucleon sector will require a lattice that is much larger than the scattering lengths in order to extract quantitative information. In this paper we point out that this does not have to be the case: lattice QCD simulations on much smaller lattices will produce rigorous results for nuclear physics.13 pages, 6 figuresHigh Energy Physics - LatticeHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyNuclear Theorytext
