Description
We present a lattice QCD study of the $\rho$ resonance with $N_f=2+1$ clover fermions at a pion mass of approximately 320 MeV and lattice size 3.6 fm. We study two processes involving the $\rho$. The first process is scattering of two pions in P-wave with isospin 1 where by using the Luescher method we determine the strong scattering phase shift, from which we determine the $\rho$ resonance mass and decay width $\Gamma(\rho \to \pi\pi)$. The second process is the radiative transition $\pi\gamma \to \pi\pi$ where we follow the Briceno-Hansen-Walker-Loud approach to determine the radiative transition amplitude in the invariant mass region near the $\rho$ resonance and both space- and time-like momentum transfer. This allows us to determine the coupling between the $\rho$, the pion and the photon and the $\rho$ radiative decay width.
