Abstract

The elastic I = 1/2, s- and p-wave kaon-pion scattering amplitudes are calculated using a single ensemble of anisotropic lattice QCD gauge field configurations with Nf = 2+1 flavors of dynamical Wilson-clover fermions at mπ = 230MeV. A large spatial extent of L = 3.7fm enables a good energy resolution while partial wave mixing due to the reduced symmetries of the finite volume is treated explicitly. The p-wave amplitude is well described by a Breit–Wigner shape with parameters mK⁎/mπ = 3.808(18) and gBWKKπ = 5.33(20) which are insensitive to the inclusion of d-wave mixing and variation of the s-wave parametrization. An effective range description of the near-threshold s-wave amplitude yields mπα0 = –0.353(25).
