K+-Deuteron Scattering in the Impulse Approximation

Abstract

It is suggested that a phenomenological analysis using the impulse approximation of the processes occurring in the scattering of $K^{+}$ mesons by deuterons may be used to get the phase-shifts for the $T=0\mathrm{}$ isotopic spin state. Typical curves are given for the elastic, elastic plus inelastic and charge exchange scattering differential cross sections of 100-Mev $K^{+}$ mesons by deuterons on the assumption that only $S$-waves contribute and for various ratios of the $T=1\mathrm{}$ and $T=0\mathrm{}$ isotopic spin states phase shifts.
