Faddeev calculations of the $\bar{K}NN$ system with chirally-motivated $\bar{K}N$ interaction. I. Low-energy $K^{-}d$ scattering 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.
