Description

In this talk, we present a lattice study of the scattering of pseudo-Goldstone Bosons in SU(3) gauge theory with $N_f=8$ light Dirac fermions, a theory which lies close to the boundary of the conformal window. The scattering phase shift is measured in the s-wave, maximal isospin channel for different values of the scattering momentum, as well as for different values of the underlying fermion mass. A light singlet scalar in the spectrum has been reported in earlier studies, and its effect on the scattering of pseudo-Goldstones is examined by comparing the lattice measurements to a dilaton EFT.
