Abstract:
A dynamical model for S-- and P--wave correlated 2π2 \pi (and KKˉK \bar K) exchange between a kaon and a nucleon is presented, starting from corresponding NNˉKKˉN \bar N \rightarrow K \bar K amplitudes in the pseudophysical region, which have been constructed from nucleon, Δ\Delta--isobar and hyperon (Λ\Lambda, Σ\Sigma) exchange Born terms and a realistic meson exchange model of the ππKKˉ\pi \pi \rightarrow K \bar K and KKˉKKˉK \bar K \rightarrow K \bar K amplitude. The contribution in the s--channel is then obtained by performing a dispersion relation over the unitarity cut. In the ρ\rho--channel, considerable ambiguities exist, depending on how the dispersion integral is performed. Our model, supplemented by short range interaction terms, is able to describe empirical K +NK~+ N data below pion production threshold in a satisfactory way.
