Abstract

Introducing a short range force coupling the spinless fermions to one unit of angular momentum in the framework of pionless EFT, we first report the two-body scattering amplitudes with Coulomb corrections, extended to two fermions of opposite charge in refs. [1,2]. Motivated by the growing interest in lattice approaches, we immerse the system into a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions and display the finite-volume corrections to the energy of the lowest bound and unbound T1- eigenstates. The latter turn out to consist of power law terms proportional to the fine-structure constant. In the calculations, quadratic and higher order contributions in α are discarded, on the grounds that the gapped nature of the momentum operator in the finite-volume environment allows for a perturbative treatment of the QED interactions. An outlook on the extension of the analysis to D-wave short-range interactions is eventually given.
