Scattering of zero branes off elementary strings in Matrix Theory

Abstract

We consider the scattering of zero branes off an elementary string in Matrix theory or equivalently gravitons off a longitudinally wrapped membrane. The leading supergravity result is recovered by a one-loop calculation in zero brane quantum mechanics. Simple scaling arguments are used to show that there are no further corrections at higher loops, to the leading term in the large impact parameter, low velocity expansion. The mechanism for this agreement is identified in terms of properties of a recently discovered boundary conformal field theory.
