Nucleon-nucleon scattering from fully dynamical lattice QCD

Abstract

We present results of the first fully dynamical lattice QCD determination of nucleon-nucleon scattering lengths in the S01 channel and S13-D13 coupled channels. The calculations are performed with domain-wall valence quarks on the MILC staggered configurations with a lattice spacing of b=0.125fm in the isospin-symmetric limit, and in the absence of electromagnetic interactions. © 2006 The American Physical Society.
