Description
Meson-baryon scattering amplitudes exhibit a rich phenomenology, including exotic states, coupled-channel effects, and flavor-driven dynamics. Lattice QCD is an important tool for studying such systems. In addition to quantifiable systematic errors, the variation of the quark masses is a valuable window into the nature of the phenomena mentioned above. The current status of lattice QCD computations of coupled-channel meson-baryon scattering amplitudes is reviewed, and future prospects are discussed.
