Abstract

We calculated the 1s1s level shifts and widths of kaonic deuterium, corresponding to accurate results on near-threshold antikaon - deuteron scattering. The Lippmann-Schwinger eigenvalue equation with a strong KdK^- - d and Coulomb potentials was solved. The two-body KdK^- - d potentials reproduce the near-threshold elastic amplitudes of KdK^- d scattering obtained from the three-body Alt-Grassberger-Sandhas equations with the coupled channels using four versions of the KˉNπΣ\bar{K}N - \pi \Sigma potentials. Both new KˉNπΣ\bar{K}N - \pi \Sigma potentials reproducing the very recent SIDDHARTA data on kaonic hydrogen and our older potentials reproducing KEK data have one- or two-pole versions of the Λ(1405)\Lambda(1405) resonance and reproduce experimental data on KpK^- p scattering.
