Description
The K+ scattering on the lightest nuclei, d, 3He, and 4He is studied in the framework of multiple-scattering theory. Effects from meson exchange currents (MEC) tied to the K+N→KNπ reaction are evaluated. We found that at momentum transfers Q2<0.5 (GeV/c)2 contributions from MEC are much smaller than kaon rescattering corrections. This makes the conventional multiple-scattering picture a reliable tool to study these reactions in this kinematical domain and to extract the K+n scattering amplitude from the K+d data. At larger transferred momentum MEC can become more relevant. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
