Description
I will discuss some recent investigations of excited mesons using first-principles lattice QCD calculations. Over the last few years, by developing a range of novel techniques we have made significant advances in studying hadrons with exotic quantum numbers, near-threshold states, resonances and related scattering phenomena. Some highlights of results from scattering channels involving charm mesons will be presented, including D K scattering relevant for the enigmatic Ds(2317). I will also comment on applications to other phenomenologically-interesting channels and future prospects.
