Abstract

We study the strong interaction S-wave \Lambda\pi phase shift in the region of the \Xi mass in the framework of a relativistic chiral unitary approach based on coupled channels. All parameters have been previously determined in a fit to strangeness S= -1 S-wave kaon-nucleon data. We find 0^\circ \le \delta_0 \le 1.1^\circ in agreement with previous chiral perturbation theory calculations (or extensions thereof). We also discuss why a recent coupled channel K-matrix calculation gives a result for \delta_0 that is negative and much bigger in magnitude. We argue why that value should not be trusted.
