Abstract

The elastic scattering of positive kaons from C12, He3, H3, and He4 is calculated with a theoretical momentum space optical potential. The theory includes nuclear spin, nucleon recoil and binding, a Lorentz invariant angle transformation, realistic nuclear form factors for the proton and neutron matter and spin distributions, and a kaon-nucleon T matrix with off-shell behavior based on a separable potential model. Differential and total cross sections, polarizations, and isotopic ratios are examined for kaon energies from 0.4 to 1 GeV and compared with results from pion and electron scattering.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS C12(K+,K+), He4(K+,K+), He3(K+,K+), H3(K+,K+), He3(K0,K0); E=39804 MeV; σ(θ) and σtot; theoretical calculation, momentum space optical potential; spin effects, binding, recoil, angle transformation; compare with C12 data.
