Abstract (English)

In this thesis we use lattice QCD to compute scattering phase shifts for elastic twopion
scattering in the isospin I = 1 channel. Using Lüscher's formalism, we derive the
scattering phase shifts for different total momenta of the two-pion system in a nonrest
frame. Furthermore we analyse the symmetries of the non-rest frame lattices and
construct 2-pion and rho operators transforming in accordance with these symmetries.
The data was collected for a 32^3x64 and a 40^3x64 lattice with Nf = 2 clover improved
Wilson fermions at a pion mass around 290 MeV and a lattice spacing of about 0.072
fm.

In dieser Doktorarbeit benutzen wir Gitter QCD um die
Streuphasenverschiebungen für elastische 2-pion Streuung im Isospin
I=1 Kanal zu berechnen. Mithilfe von Lüschers Formalismus leiten wir die
Streuphasen für das 2-pion System mit verschiedenen Gesamtimpulsen her.
Ausserdem untersuchen wir die Symmetrien des Gitters im bewegten System
und konstruieren 2-pion und rho Operatoren, die sich entsprechend dieser
Symmetrien transformieren. Die Daten entstanden unter Verwendung eines
32^3x64 und 40^3x64 Gitters mit Nf=2 clover-Wilson Fermionen mit einer
Pionmasse von ca. 290 MeV und einem Gitterabstand von ca. 0.072 fm.
