The mixing of two-pion and vector-meson states using staggered fermions

In this study we employ staggered fermions to calculate the two-pion taste singlet states at rest. Leveraging the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of the symmetry group associated with staggered fermions, we effectively compute the $ππ$ contributions to the resting $ρ$-meson correlator. To discern the distinct energy states involved, we adopt a generalized eigenvalue problem-solving approach. This work will provide insight into the important role played by the two-pion contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In this paper we present our group theoretic considerations and preliminary results on the contribution of two-pion states to the rho meson correlation function.
