Connected and disconnected contractions in pion–pion scattering

We show that the interplay of chiral effective field theory and lattice QCD can be used in the evaluation of so-called disconnected diagrams, which appear in the study of the isoscalar and isovector channels of pion–pion scattering and have long been a major challenge for the lattice community. By m...
