According to a proposal of Luescher it is possible to determine elastic
scattering phases in infinite volume from the energy spectrum of two-particle
states in a periodic box. We demonstrate the applicability of this method in
the broken phase of the four-dimensional O(4) non-linear sigma-model in a Monte
Carlo study on finite lattices. This non-perturbative approach also permits the
study of unstable particles, the sigma-particle in our case. We observe the
sigma-resonance and extract its mass and width. In all scattering channels
investigated the results are completely consistent with perturbative
calculations.
