Chiral corrections to the double scattering term for the pion-deuteron scattering length — •Norbert Kaiser — Physik-Department T39, TU-München, 85747 Garching

The empirical value of real part of the pion-deuteron threshold T-matrix Re Tπ d = 4π(1+mπ/Md) Re  aπ d= −(0.496± 0.016)  fm can be well understood in terms of the dominant isovector π N double scattering contribution Re Tπ d = −(Tπ N)2   <(π r)−1>d with <1/r>d = ∫0dr [u2(r)+w2(r)]/r the inverse deuteron radius. However, since the leading order (Weinberg-Tomozawa) prediction for Tπ N = mπ/2fπ2 = 1.61 fm is about 13% below the empirical value the leading order chiral double scattering contribution to Re Tπ d is also about 25% too small. We calculate in chiral perturbation theory all one pion-loop corrections to the double scattering term which in the case of π N-scattering close the gap between the current algebra prediction and the empirical value of Tπ N. In addition there is in the π d-system an off-shell correction for the exchanged virtual pion. Its coordinate space representation reveals that it is equivalent to 2π-exchange in the deuteron with a large distance behavior e−2mπr r−5/2. When folded with the deuteron density its short distance singularity r−3 is regulated by introducing rmin=1/Λ= 0.23 fm with Λ a cutoff entering the chiral logarithm ln(mπ/2Λ) in Tπ N. We evaluate the chirally corrected double scattering term and the off-shell contribution with various realistic deuteron wave functions. We find that the off-shell correction contributes at most -8% and that the isovector double scattering term explains at least 90% of the empirical value of Re Tπ d.
