The quest of unraveling the nature of excited hadrons necessarily involves determination of universal (reaction independent) parameters of these states. Such determinations require input, either from experiment or theory.

We study a three-particle resonance in Euclidean Lattice $\phi^4$ theory with two fields, having different masses and an interaction that makes the heavy field decay into three light. We observe the avoided-level crossings characteristic of a resonance and analyse the data with two formalisms FVU and RFT with an aim to determine the mass and the width of the resonance.

In this talk, I will present our recent results on two- and three-particle scattering in the O(3) non-linear sigma model in 1+1 dimensions. We focus on the isospin-1 and 2 channels for the two-particle case, and the isospin-2 and 3 channels for three particles. We perform numerical simulations at four values of the physical volume and three lattice spacings, using a three-cluster...

We investigate the energy levels corresponding to the Roper resonance based on a two-flavor chiral effective Lagrangian at leading one-loop order. We show that the Roper mass can be extracted from these levels for not too large lattice volumes.

Finite-volume pionless effective field theory is an efficient framework with which to perform the extrapolation of finite-volume lattice QCD calculations of multi-nucleon spectra and matrix elements to infinite volume and to nuclei with larger atomic number.

This talk presents a new method for computing correlators for systems of many identical mesons. The method allows the computation of every meson correlator up to N mesons from propagators using only a single N by N eigendecomposition. This pushes the frontier of many-meson calculations from dozens to thousands, and as a demonstration I will present the computation of the maximal-isospin pion...

The formalism for relating finite-volume energies and matrix elements to scattering and decay amplitudes has been established for three-pion states with all possible isospins in the so called RFT (relativistic field theory) method. This necessarily leads to coupled-channel systems. The three-pion I=1 channel, for example, includes all two-pion isospins as sub-channels. In this talk I describe...

The Lüscher scattering formalism, the standard approach for relating the discrete finite-volume energy spectrum to two-to-two scattering amplitudes, fails when analytically continued so far below the infinite-volume two-particle threshold that one encounters the t-channel cut. This is relevant, especially in baryon-baryon scattering applications, as finite-volume energies can be observed in...

The γ⋆γ⋆ → ππ scattering amplitude can help constrain hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, as well as structural information of glueball and tetraquark candidates. To leading order in QED, this amplitude can be accessed from matrix elements from non-local products of electromagnetic currents evaluated in an infinitely large Minkowski spacetime. In this talk, we...

Determining the internal structure of hadrons is a necessary step to advance our understanding of the dynamics of confined partons. Extracting form factors of resonances directly from lattice QCD requires a formal connection between the finite volume Euclidean correlation functions and the infinite volume Minkowski amplitudes. In this talk we describe a novel procedure to extract transitions...

Recently, a doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}$ with flavor $cc\bar u\bar d$ just $0.36(4)~$MeV below $D^0D^{*+}$ threshold was discovered by the LHCb collaboration. We present the first lattice study of $DD^*$ scattering in this channel, involving rigorous determination of pole singularities in the related scattering amplitudes that point to the existence of $T_{cc}$.

The doubly charm tetraquark with exotic quark composition $cc\bar u \bar d$ is the longest-lived exotic hadron discovered in the experiment. Our lattice simulation establishes a virtual bound state pole in DD* scattering at $m_\pi\simeq 280$ MeV, which is likely related to this state. We discuss the expected dependence of this hadron on the light and heavy quark masses, and compare it to the...

We present an investigation of the spectrum of exotic charmonium-like mesons using lattice QCD. The focus is on $\bar cc \bar qq$ $J^{PC}=1^{+\pm}$ states with isospin 1. Many mesons with properties incompatible with a $\bar cc$ structure have already been discovered, e. g. the $Z_c$ mesons with isospin 1.

Optimized meson operators in the distillation framework are used to study the charmonium spectrum in two ensembles with two heavy dynamical quarks at half the physical charm quark mass but different lattice spacings. The use of optimal meson distillation profiles is shown to increase the overlap with the ground state significantly, as well as grant access to excited states, for multiple...

We determine the gradient flow scale $t_0$ at the physical point with an overall uncertainty of around $0.5\%$ using the $\Xi$ baryon mass as input. We utilise 47 CLS ensembles generated with $N_f=2+1$ non-perturbatively $O(a)$ improved Wilson dynamical fermions comprising six lattice spacings in the range $a=0.04-0.1$ fm, spatial volumes with $LM_\pi>4$ and pion masses ranging from around 420...

Focusing on the $SU(3)$ flavor symmetric point $m_\pi=m_K=412$ MeV, four different lattice spacings ($a = 0.064,0.077,0.094,0.12$ fm) are used to perform the continuum limit to study the cutoff effects.

We compute the static energy of a quark-antiquark pair in lattice QCD using a method which is not based on Wilson loops, but where the trial states are formed by eigenvector components of the covariant lattice Laplace operator. The computational effort of this method is significantly lower than the standard Wilson loop calculation, when computing the static potential not only for on-axis, but...

We study four-quark systems using lattice QCD, which consist of two heavy antiquarks (either $ \bar{b}\bar{b} $ or $\bar{b}\bar{c}$) and two light quarks (either $ ud $ or $ us $) and search for bound states in these channels. In addition to commonly used local interpolating operators we also employ scattering interpolating operators, which seem to be very important for an accurate extraction...

We investigate the glueball spectrum for $N_f=4$ fermions corresponding to low pion masses of $m_\pi \sim 260$MeV.

It is a fundamental question: what is the origin of the glueball masses? In the pure Yang-Mills theory, there is no mass scale in the classical level, while the breaking of scale invariance is induced by quantum effects. This is regarded as the trace anomaly, which is associated with the non-vanishing trace of the energy-momentum tensor (EMT) operator. In this context, the origin of the...

Lattice simulations of QED in 2+1 dimensions are done both in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism. Though equivalent in the continuum limit, at finite lattice spacing there is no trivial correspondence among the physical parameters, and a matching is required. This can be done non-perturbatively, finding the Hamiltonian parameters that reproduce the $a_t \to 0$ limit of asymmetric lattice...

Variational methods can be used to provide robust upper bounds on the energy spectra of hadrons and nuclei, but the presence of small energy gaps for multi-hadron states makes it difficult to ensure that the ground- and lowest-energy excited-states have been identified. I will discuss recent calculations of two-baryon systems using large and varied sets of interpolating operators, including...

An understanding of the nearly decades-long controversy between calculations of nucleon-nucleon interactions using the Luscher spectroscopy method and the HALQCD potential method has seen significant advancement in recent years due to the efforts of several groups.

Partial quenching can be used to avoid isospin mixing in a theory incorporating a mass twist, but comes at the cost of introducing unitarity violation. This talk will examine pion-pion scattering in partially-quenched twisted-mass lattice QCD using chiral perturbation theory.

Several outstanding puzzles involve electroweak interactions of low-energy nuclear systems. Observables such as long-range matrix elements can be used to study processes such as neutral meson mixing or the substructure of hadrons.
