Publication Abstract: There is a broad need to study form-factor of multihadron states, from understanding the na- ture of hadronic resonances and bound-states in terms of their constituent quarks and gluons to the manifestation of beyond the Standard Model physics at low energies. With this goal in mind, a framework was developed to determine two-hadron form-factors by relating finite-volume matrix ele- ments, computed from lattice QCD, to infinite-volume $\mathbf{2}+\mathcal{J} \to \mathbf{2}$ electroweak transition amplitudes. Following earlier studies of the formalism, we continue to provide non-trivial consistency checks in order to gain confidence in the framework. We explore the non-relativistic limit of a two-hadron system probed by a scalar current, showing that near threshold the finite-volume matrix element can be expressed as a series in the inverse volume of the box. We provide two confirmations of the analytic expansion. First, we evaluate the exact result numerically and explore the asymptotically large-volume limit. Second, we perform an independent analytical determination of the matrix ele- ment using time-ordered perturbation theory. This is similar in spirit to existing calculations in the literature, but unlikely previous result we include all diagrams appearing at the desired order.
