A particular advantage of this approach is the \emph{a priori} specification of the kernel with which the underlying spectral density is smeared, allowing for variation of its peak position, smearing width, and functional form. If the unsmeared spectral density is sufficiently smooth in the neighborhood of a particular energy, it can be obtained from an extrapolation to zero smearing-kernel width at fixed peak position. A natural application for this approach is scattering processes summed over all hadronic final states. As a proof-of-principle test, an inclusive rate is computed in the two-dimensional O(3) sigma model from a two-point correlation function of conserved currents. The results at finite and zero smearing radius are in good agreement with the known analytic form up to energies at which 40-particle states contribute, and are sensitive to the 4-particle contribution to the inclusive rate. The straight-forward adaptation to compute the $R$-ratio in lattice QCD from two-point functions of the electromagnetic current is briefly discussed. 000570301 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-613$$a613 - Matter and Radiation from the Universe (POF4-613)$$cPOF4-613$$fPOF IV$$x0 000570301 588__ $$aDataset connected to INSPIRE 000570301 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$adensity: spectral 000570301 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$atwo-point function: electromagnetic 000570301 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$acurrent: electromagnetic 000570301 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$asigma model: O(3) 000570301 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$adimension: 2 000570301 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$afinal state: hadronic 000570301 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$acorrelation function 000570301 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$alattice field theory 000570301 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$ascattering 000570301 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$aconservation law 000570301 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101$$5EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101$$eNo specific instrument$$x0 000570301 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/570301/files/2301.04072v1.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000570301 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/570301/files/2301.04072v1.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000570301 909CO $$ooai:bib-pubdb1.desy.de:570301$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000570301 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2008985-5$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1010758$$aDeutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron$$b0$$kDESY 000570301 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-613$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-610$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lMatter and the Universe$$vMatter and Radiation from the Universe$$x0 000570301 9141_ $$y2023 000570301 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000570301 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000570301 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0580$$2StatID$$aPublished 000570301 9201_ $$0I:(DE-H253)Z_APR-20201126$$kZ_APR$$lZ_APR$$x0 000570301 980__ $$apreprint 000570301 980__ $$aVDB 000570301 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000570301 980__ $$aI:(DE-H253)Z_APR-20201126 000570301 9801_ $$aFullTexts
