Faddeev calculations of theK¯NNsystem with a chirally motivatedK¯Ninteraction. I. Low-energyK−dscattering and antikaonic deuterium

Abstract

A chirally-motivated coupled-channel $\bar{K}N$ potential, reproducing all low-energy experimental data on $K^- p$ scattering and kaonic hydrogen and suitable for using in accurate few-body calculations, was constructed. The potential was used for calculations of low-energy amplitudes of the elastic $K^- d$ scattering using Faddeev-type AGS equations with coupled $\bar{K}NN$ and $\pi \Sigma N$ channels. A complex $K^- - d$ potential reproducing the three-body $K^- d$ amplitudes was constructed and used for calculation of $1s$ level shift and width of kaonic deuterium. The predicted shift $\Delta E_{1s}^{K^- d} \sim -830$ eV and width $\Gamma_{1s}^{K^- d} \sim 1055$ eV are close to our previous results obtained with phenomenological $\bar{K}N$ potentials.
