Pion-deutron and pion-nucleus scattering — a review

Abstract

We review recent developments in the microscopic theory of pion-nucleus elastic scattering. Particular emphasis is placed on the connection which has developed between the sophisticated studies of the three-body πNN system, and the less rigorous (but equally sophisticated) treatments of the pion-nucleus many-body problem. Complete sections are devoted to an examination of the underlying pion-nucleon interaction, and also to the difficult question of the effect of absorption on elastic scattering. Our discussion leads very naturally to a comparison with recent data - both for elastic scattering and reactions.

      The study of kaonic deuterium may be expected to benefit from a comparison with earlier studies of pionic deuterium. The latter was proposed and observed in experiment very early – see Ref. [22] for a review. The energy shifts and widths of the 1S states of pionic hydrogen and deuterium were measured with precision at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) at Villigen [23].

      To that chiral order, the complete set of leading terms in pion–nucleus optical potential (those linear in the proton and neutron densities, ρp(r) and ρn(r)) are generated. It is of course well known from pion–nuclear phenomenology [1–3], that rescattering and absorption terms of O(p6) and higher orders are quantitatively important. In the present paper we focus on the systematic expansion to O(p5).
