The myths about lattice spectroscopy
Myths: lattice QCD can . . .
. . . only study hadronic ground-states
. . . not study states with high spin
. . . not study isoscalar meson with precision
. . . not deal with resonances or compute scatteringproperties
• Where do these myths come from?• How close to solving these problems are we?• New results: most of these myths need to be re-examined
![Page 4: Recent progress in hadron spectroscopy on the latticechimera.roma1.infn.it/.../ElbaXII/Monday_June_25/peardon.pdfRecent progress in hadron spectroscopy on the lattice Mike Peardon](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022040601/5e8ecfef8ab154211260c2bb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Where do these myths come from?
Mostly restrictions with standard techniquesused to perform numerical simulations, par-ticularly those needed to study quarks
Are we close to solving these problems?
• New methods have enabled many of thesechallenges to be overcome.
• Can study excited and high spin states reliably• New data on isoscalar mesons are almost asprecise as isovector states
• Many collaborations publishing results onscattering and resonances.

Methods forlattice spectroscopy
![Page 6: Recent progress in hadron spectroscopy on the latticechimera.roma1.infn.it/.../ElbaXII/Monday_June_25/peardon.pdfRecent progress in hadron spectroscopy on the lattice Mike Peardon](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022040601/5e8ecfef8ab154211260c2bb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Lattice regularisation
• Lattice provides a non-perturbative, gauge-invariant regulator for QCD
• Quarks live on sites• Gluons live on links• a - lattice spacing• a ∼ 0.1 fm
Quark fields
on sites
on links
Gauge fields
• The Nielson-Ninomiya theorem means chirally symmetricquarks are missing, but can discretise quarks by trading-oUsome symmetry
• In a Vnite volume V = L4, Vnite number of degrees offreedom
Finite V: path-integral is an ordinary (but large) integral. Makepredictions from the QCD lagrangian byMonte Carlo

Spectroscopy in lattice QCD
• Energies of colourless QCD states can be extracted fromtwo-point functions in Euclidean time
C(t) = 〈0| Φ(t)Φ†(0) |0〉
• Euclidean time: Φ(t) = eHtΦe−Ht so C(t) = 〈Φ|e−Ht|Φ〉.Insert a complete set of energy eigenstate and:
C(t) =∞∑k=0
|〈Φ|k〉|2e−Ekt
• limt→∞ C(t) = Ze−E0t, so if observe large-t fall-oU, thenenergy of ground-state is measured.
Euclidean metric very useful for spectroscopy; it provides a wayof isolating and examining low-lying states
![Page 8: Recent progress in hadron spectroscopy on the latticechimera.roma1.infn.it/.../ElbaXII/Monday_June_25/peardon.pdfRecent progress in hadron spectroscopy on the lattice Mike Peardon](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022040601/5e8ecfef8ab154211260c2bb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Excited states
• Excited-state energies can be measured by correlatingbetween operators in a bigger set, {Φ1,Φ2, . . . ,ΦN}
Cij(t) = 〈0| Φi(t)Φ†j (0) |0〉
• Solve generalised eigenvalue problem:
C(t1) v = λ C(t0) v
for diUerent t0 and t1 [Lüscher & WolU, C. Michael]
• Then lim(t1−t0)→∞ λn = e−En(t1−t0)
• Method constructs optimal ground-state creation operator,then builds orthogonal states.
Excited states accessed if basis of creation operators is used andthe matrix of correlators can be computed

Spin on the lattice
• Lattice breaks O(3)→ Oh
• Lattice states classiVed by quantumletter, R ∈ {A1,A2, E, T1, T2}.
• Continuum: subduce O(3) irreps→ Oh
• Look for degeneracies. Problem: spin-4has same pattern as 0⊕ 1⊕ 2.
• Better spin assignment by constructing operators fromlattice representation of convariant derivative.
• Start in continuum with operator of deVnite J, thensubduce this into Oh and then replace derivatives withtheir lattice equivalent. Measure 〈0|Φ| JPC〉 and look forremnants of continuum symmetries.
Remnants of continuum spin can be found on the lattice if webuild operators more carefully and can measure their correlators

Isoscalar meson correlation functions
• Isovector mesons: Wickcontraction gives
• Isoscalar meson correlator has extra diagram. Wickcontraction:
〈ψiψjψkψl〉 = M−1ij M−1kl −M−1il M
−1jk
〈0|Φ(I=0)(t)Φ†(I=0)(0)|0〉 =
〈0|Φ(I=1)(t)Φ†(I=1)(0)|0〉 − 〈0|Tr M−1Γ(t)Tr M−1Γ(0)|0〉
Measuring isoscalar meson correlation functions means alsocomputing the disconnected Wick graphs by Monte Carlo.

The numerical tool-kit for quarks
• Physics focus of LQCD has been matrix elements, notspectroscopy.
• Traditionally, quark propagationcomputed starting with point source:η(x, t) = δt,0δx,0
• Solve Mψ = η, then ψ is one columnof M−1
• QCD is translationally invariant
• With this trick, make simple mesons and baryons cheaply.• Not so well suited to studying isoscalar mesons,higher-spin states, hybrids, large operator bases . . .
The “point-to-all” propagator has limited the scope of physicslattice QCD has addressed. Better calculations need “all-to-all”

New methods: distillation
• We can ameliorate the problems coming from measuringquark propagation by looking more carefully at howhadrons are constructed most eXciently
• Smeared Velds: determine ψ from the “raw” Veld in thepath-integral, ψ:
ψ(t) = �[U(t)]ψ(t)
• Extract conVnement-scale degrees offreedom while preserving symmetries
• Build creation operators on smeared Velds• Re-deVne smearing to be a projectionoperator into a small vector space smoothVelds: distillation

Hadrons in a Vnite box: scattering• On a Vnite lattice with periodic b.c., hadrons have quantisedmomenta; p = 2π
L
{nx, ny, nz
}• Two hadrons with total P = 0 have a discrete spectrum• These states can have same quantum numbers as those created byqΓq operators and QCD can mix these
• This leads to shifts in thespectrum in Vnite volume
• This is the same physics thatmakes resonances in anexperiment

Conclusions
• Precision spectroscopy from the lattice is improvingrapidly:• Variational methods have enabled excited states to bestudied
• More sophisticated operator construction allows us todisentangle higher spins in lattice data
• Isoscalar mesons are determined at similar precision• Lüscher’s method links the spectrum in Vnite volume toscattering properties.
• These developments have been enabled by extending thetoolkit for measuring quark propagation on the lattice
• Look out for better data on scattering soon . . .• . . . but inelastic thresholds remain a challenge
