Abstract

We use a recently constructed linearized soliton sector perturbation theory to calculate the form factors relevant to the elastic scattering of ultrarelativistic mesons off of nonrelativistic kinks. Both localized kink wave packets and also delocalized momentum eigenstate kinks are considered. In the delocalized case, the leading term is just the classical kink solution, as was found by Goldstone and Jackiw. The leading delocalized quantum correction agrees with that found by Gervais, Jevicki and Sakita in the ϕ4 model and Weisz in the Sine-Gordon model. In the case of localized kink wave packets, some corrections are found which scale with the wave packet width, and so will be relevant for the coherent scattering of mesons off of kink wave packets.
