In an effort towards understanding alpha processes from first principles, we describe in this letter the first ab initio calculation of alpha-alpha scattering. We use lattice effective field theory to describe the low-energy interactions of nucleons and apply a technique called the adiabatic projection method to reduce the eight-body system to an effective two-cluster system. We find good agreement between lattice results and experimental phase shifts for S-wave and D-wave scattering. The computational scaling with particle number suggests that alpha processes involving heavier nuclei are also within reach in the near future.}, cin = {IAS-4 / IKP-3 / NIC}, ddc = {070}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IAS-4-20090406 / I:(DE-Juel1)IKP-3-20111104 / I:(DE-Juel1)NIC-20090406}, pnm = {511 - Computational Science and Mathematical Methods (POF3-511) / NUCLEAREFT - Nuclear Physics from Quantum Chromodynamics (259218) / DFG project 196253076 - TRR 110: Symmetrien und Strukturbildung in der Quantenchromodynamik (196253076) / HADRONPHYSICS3 - Study of Strongly Interacting Matter (283286) / Nuclear Lattice Simulations $(hfz02_20150501)$}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-511 / G:(EU-Grant)259218 / G:(GEPRIS)196253076 / G:(EU-Grant)283286 / $G:(DE-Juel1)hfz02_20150501$}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, eprint = {1506.03513}, howpublished = {arXiv:1506.03513}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:1506.03513;\%\%$}, UT = {WOS:000365606000058}, pubmed = {pmid:26632590}, doi = {10.1038/nature16067}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/281207}, }
