Abstract

We present the first lattice QCD study of coupled-channel Dπ, Dη and DsK¯ scattering in isospin-1/2 in three partial waves. Using distillation, we compute matrices of correlation functions with bases of operators capable of resolving both meson and meson-meson contributions to the spectrum. These correlation matrices are analysed using a variational approach to extract the finite-volume energy eigenstates. Utilising L"uscher's method and its extensions, we constrain scattering amplitudes in S, P and D-wave as a function of energy. By analytically continuing the scattering amplitudes to complex energies, we investigate the S-matrix singularities. Working at mπ≈391 MeV, we find a pole corresponding to a JP=0+ near-threshold bound state with a large coupling to Dπ. We also find a deeply bound JP=1 state, and evidence for a JP=2+ narrow resonance coupled predominantly to Dπ. Elastic Dπ scattering in the isospin-3/2 channel is studied and we find a weakly repulsive interaction in S-wave.
