Relativistic Faddeev calculation of K+d scattering

The reaction K+dK+d has been calculated for incident kaon momenta up to 1.5 GeV/c, using the relativistic Faddeev equations. The effect of multiple scattering corrections and of higher K+N partial waves has been evaluated, and the sensitivity of the results to the deuteron wave function and to variations of the on- and off-shell behavior of the elementary K+N amplitude has been studied. Some implications of the results in connection with Glaubers high-energy limit are also discussed.
