I=2 Pion Scattering Length with the Wilson Fermion

  • 15 June 2002
Abstract
The calculation of the I=2 pion scattering length in quenched lattice QCD is revisited. The calculation is carried out with the Wilson fermion action employing L\"uscher's finite size scaling method at $\beta=5.9$, 6.1, and 6.3 corresponding to the range of lattice spacing $a\simeq 0.12 - 0.07$ fm. We obtain in the continuum limit $a_0m_\pi = -0.0410(69)$, which is consistent with the prediction of chiral perturbation theory $a_0m_\pi=-0.0444(10)$.
