We demonstrate that near the threshold, the pi pi scattering amplitude contains a pole with the quantum numbers of the vacuum - commonly referred to as the sigma - and determine its mass and width within small uncertainties. Our derivation does not involve models or parametrizations, but relies on a straightforward calculation based on the Roy equation for the isoscalar S-wave.

  1. Lattice QCD study of the $K^*(892)$ resonance at the physical point

    hep-lat 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Lattice QCD yields the K*(892) resonance pole at physical pion mass and continuum limit as 883(22) - i20(13) MeV, in agreement with experiment.

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Lattice fits to gluon gravitational form factors support the sigma meson as dilaton with new predictions for rho and delta, reinforcing evidence for scale symmetry in low-energy QCD.

  3. CP asymmetries in charged meson decay to two pions

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    CP asymmetries for B+ to pi+ pi0, D+ to pi+ pi0, and K+ to pi+ pi0 are estimated in the Standard Model at roughly 3 times 10 to the -3, 10 to the -5, and 10 to the -6 using a unified formalism for isospin violation.
