Abstract: (Springer)
Antikaon-deuteron scattering is studied at low energies within the non-relativistic effective field theory (EFT) approach. The largest contribution to the scattering length stems from the multiple scattering series with infinitely heavy (static) nucleons. While the leading static contribution is inherently non-perturbative and requires resummation, the correction to the scattering length due to the nucleon recoil (retardation) effect is amenable to the perturbative treatment with respect to the small parameter ξ=M /m . The first order correction to the K d scattering length due to single insertion of the retardation term in the multiple-scattering series is calculated. The leading recoil effect turns out to be reasonably small and contributes less than 10 % to the scattering length.- 36.10.Gv
