Abstract
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strongly interacting particles known as hadrons. Most of the particles in the hadronic spectrum are short-lived states that can be observed from interactions between lighter, stable particles. Due to their rapid decay, accessing structural information of unstable states from an experiment is difficult. Lattice QCD offers the possibility of studying the structure of few-body states in a systematically improvable way. In this work, we test a formalism to study the structure of two-particle states of the non-linear sigma model O(3). Our findings may offer insights into accessing structural information of two-body nuclear states.
