Coupled-channel $J^{--}$ meson resonances from lattice QCD

We extend an earlier calculation within lattice QCD of excited light meson resonances with $J^{PC}=1^{--}, 2^{--}, 3^{--}$ at the SU(3) flavor point in the singlet representation, by considering the octet representation. In this case the resonances appear in coupled-channel amplitudes, which we determine, establishing the relative strength of pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar to pseudoscalar-vector decays. Combining the new octet results with the prior results for the singlet, we perform a plausible extrapolation to the physical quark mass, and compare to experimental $ρ^\star_J, K^\star_J, ω^\star_J$ and $ϕ^\star_J$ resonances.

Excited $J^{--}$ meson resonances at the SU(3) flavor point from lattice QCD

We present the first calculation within lattice QCD of excited light meson resonances with $J^{PC} = 1^{--}$, $2^{--}$ and $3^{--}$. Working with an exact SU(3) flavor symmetry, for the singlet representation of pseudoscalar-vector scattering, we find two $1^{--}$ resonances, a lighter broad state and a heavier narrow state, a broad $2^{--}$ resonance decaying in both $P$- and $F$-waves, and a narrow $3^{--}$ state. We present connections to experimental $ω^\star_J, ϕ^\star_J$ resonances decaying into $πρ$, $K\bar{K}^*$, $ηω$ and other final states.
