Effective chiral theory of kaon-nucleon scattering

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We apply the relativistic chiral SU(3) Lagrangian density to kaon-nucleon scattering imposing constraints from the pion-nucleon s- and p-wave threshold parameters at chiral order Q2Q^2. The s and u channel decouplet baryon exchange is included explicitly and is found to play a crucial role in understanding the empirical s- and p-wave nuclear kaon dynamics quantitatively.
