Pion Cloud Contribution to K+ Nucleus Scattering
C. Garcia-Recio, J. Nieves, E. Oset
Abstract
A careful reanalysis is done of the contribution to K+ nucleus scattering from the interaction of the kaon with the virtual pion cloud. The usual approximations made in the evaluation of the related kaon selfenergy are shown to fail badly. We also find new interaction mechanisms which provide appreciable corrections to the kaon selfenergy. Some of these contribute to the imaginary part below pion creation threshold. The inclusion of these new mechanisms in the inelastic part of the optical potential produces a significant improvement in the differential and total K+ nuclear cross sections. Uncertainties remain in the dispersive part of the optical potential.
