Publication Abstract: We conduct a two-flavor (N_f = 2) lattice QCD calculation of the elastic phase-shifts for pion-pion scattering in the scalar, isoscalar channel (the sigma-meson). The calculation is performed for two quark masses corresponding to a pion mass of 315 MeV and 227 MeV. The sigma-meson parameters are extracted using various parametrizations of the scattering amplitude. The results obtained from a chiral unitary parametrization are extrapolated to the physical point and read M_sigma = (440 (+10 ?16) (50) ? i 240(20)(25)) MeV, where the uncertainties in the parentheses denote the stochastic and systematic ones. The behavior of the sigma-meson parameters with increasing pion mass is discussed as well.
