Abstract

In the calculation of the K+-nucleus cross sections, the coupling of the mesons exchanged between the K+ and the target nucleons to the polarization of the Fermi sea has been taken into account. This polarization has been calculated in the one-loop approximation but summed up to all orders (RPA-type calculation). This effect is found to be rather important but does not improve the agreement with experiment.
