Lattice QCD studies on baryon interactions from L\"uscher's finite volume method and HAL QCD method

Understand

A comparative study between the L\"uscher's finite volume method and the time-dependent HAL QCD method is given for the $\Xi\Xi$($^1\mathrm{S}_0$) interaction as an illustrative example.

• By employing the smeared source and the wall source for the interpolating operators, we show that the effective energy shifts $\Delta E_{\rm eff} (t)$ in L\"uscher's method do not agree between different sources, yet both exhibit fake plateaux.
• On the other hand, the interaction kernels $V(\vec{r})$ obtained from the two sources in the HAL QCD method agree with each other already for modest values of $t$.
• We show that the energy eigenvalues $\Delta E(L)$ in finite lattice volumes ($L^3$) calculated by $V(\vec{r})$ indicate that there is no bound state in the $\Xi\Xi(^1\mathrm{S}_0)$ channel at $m_{\pi}=0.51$ GeV in 2+1 flavor QCD.
