Estimating the two-particle $K$-matrix for multiple partial waves and decay channels from finite-volume energies
An implementation of estimating the two-to-two $K$-matrix from finite-volume energies based on the L\"uscher formalism and involving a Hermitian matrix known as the "box matrix" is described. The method includes higher partial waves and multiple decay channels. Two fitting procedures for estimating the $K$-matrix parameters, which properly incorporate all statistical covariances, are discussed. Formulas and software for handling total spins up to $S=2$ and orbital angular momenta up to $L=6$ are obtained for total momenta in several directions. First tests involving $\rho$-meson decay to two pions include the $L=3$ and $L=5$ partial waves, and the contributions from these higher waves are f…
Scattering from finite-volume energies including higher partial waves and multiple decay channels
A new implementation of estimating the two-to-two $K$-matrix from finite-volume energies based on the Luescher formalism is described. The method includes higher partial waves and multiple decay channels, and the fitting procedure properly includes all covariances and statistical uncertainties. The method is also simpler than previously used procedures. Formulas and software for handling total spins up to $S=2$ and orbital angular momenta up to $L=6$ are presented.
