  • Charmonium and charmed meson spectroscopy from lattice QCD 

    Tims, D; Cheung, Gavin; O’Hara, C; Moir, Graham; Peardon, M; Ryan, SM; Thomas, Christopher Edward (Proceedings of Science34th annual International Symposium on Lattice Field Theoryhttps://pos.sissa.it/cgi-bin/reader/contribution.cgi?id=256/137, 2017-01-25)
    Spectra of highly excited hidden and open-charm mesons calculated on dynamical lattice QCD ensembles with a pion mass of M$_{π}$ $\sim$ 240 MeV are presented and compared to previous results obtained on a lattice where ...

  • Coupled ππ, KK̅ scattering in P-wave and the ρ resonance from lattice QCD 

    Wilson, David John; Briceño, Raúl A; Dudek, Jozef J; Edwards, Robert G; Thomas, Christopher Edward (APSPhysical Review D, 2015-11-02)
    We determine elastic and coupled-channel amplitudes for isospin-1 meson-meson scattering in P-wave, by calculating correlation functions using lattice QCD with light quark masses such that m_π = 236 MeV in a cubic volume ...

  • Coupled-channel $\textit{Dπ}$, $\textit{Dη}$ and $\textit{D$_{s}$$\bar K$}$ scattering from lattice QCD 

    Moir, Graham; Peardon, Michael; Ryan, Sinéad M; Thomas, Christopher Edward; Wilson, David John; on, behalf of the Hadron Spectrum collaboration (SpringerJournal of High Energy Physics, 2016-10-04)
    We present the first lattice QCD study of coupled-channel $\textit{Dπ}$, $\textit{Dη}$ and $\textit{D$_{s}$$\bar K$}$ scattering in isospin-1/2 in three partial waves. Using distillation, we compute matrices of correlation ...

  • Excited and exotic charmonium, $\textit{D}$$_{s}$ and $\textit{D}$ meson spectra for two light quark masses from lattice QCD 

    Cheung, Gavin; O'Hara, C; Moir, Graham; Peardon, M; Ryan, SM; Thomas, Christopher Edward; Tims, D (SpringerJournal of High Energy Physics, 2016-12-19)
    We present highly-excited charmonium, $\textit{D}$$_{s}$ and $\textit{D}$ meson spectra from dynamical lattice QCD calculations with light quarks corresponding to $\textit{M}$$_{π}$ ∼ 240 MeV and compare these to previous ...

  • Excited Heavy Mesons From Lattice QCD 

    Thomas, Christopher Edward (American Institute of Physics PublishingAIP Conference Proceedings, 2016-05-25)
    I discuss some recent investigations of excited mesons using first-principles lattice QCD calculations. Over the last few years we have made significant advances in studying near-threshold states, resonances and related ...

  • Meson Spectroscopy from Lattice QCD 

    Thomas, Christopher Edward (SpringerFew-Body Systems, 2017-05-01)
    Some recent progress in using lattice QCD to perform first-principles calculations of the spectra of mesons is discussed. In particular, I highlight some new results on resonances, near-threshold states and related scattering ...

  • Meson spectroscopy, resonances and scattering on the lattice 

    Thomas, Christopher Edward
    I discuss some recent progress in studying the spectra of mesons using first-principles lattice QCD calculations. In particular, I highlight some new results on resonances, near-threshold states and related scattering ...

  • Resonances in coupled πK, ηK scattering from lattice QCD 

    Wilson, David John; Dudek, Jozef J; Edwards, Robert G; Thomas, Christopher Edward (APSPhysical Review D, 2015-03-10)
    Coupled-channel πK and ηK scattering amplitudes are determined by studying the finite-volume energy spectra obtained from dynamical lattice QCD calculations. Using a large basis of interpolating operators, including both ...

  • The resonant π+γ → π+π⁰ amplitude from Quantum Chromodynamics 

    Briceño, Raúl A; Dudek, Jozef J; Edwards, Robert G; Schultz, Christian J; Thomas, Christopher Edward; Wilson, David John (APSPhysical Review Letters, 2015-12-08)
    We present the first ab initio calculation of a radiative transition of a hadronic resonance within Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). We compute the amplitude for ππ → πγ* , as a function of the energy of the ππ pair and the ...

  • Towards radiative transitions in charmonium 

    O'Hara, C; Ryan, SM; Moir, Graham; Thomas, Christopher Edward (Proceedings of Science, 2016-01-01)
    We present preliminary calculations towards radiative transitions in charmonium using anisotropic $\textit{Nf}$=2+1 dynamical ensembles generated by the Hadron Spectrum Collaboration. With the use of newer technologies we ...

  • Utilising optimised operators and distillation to extract scattering phase shifts 

    Woss, Antoni; Thomas, Christopher Edward (Proceedings of Science, 2016-01-01)
    In this investigation, we examine how the precision of energy spectra and scattering phase shifts, extracted in lattice QCD, depend upon the degree of distillation type smearing. We use the variational method to extract ...
