arXiv:nucl-th/9811092 · doi:10.1143/PTP.101.923

Abstract

We calculate the spin-averaged -nucleon scattering length by directly applying QCD sum rule to - forward scattering amplitude. Our result fm, predicts the possibility of bound states with nuclei, though the force is weaker than that of the light vector mesons ()- cases. Up to dimension-4 gluonic operators, we evaluate the scattering length with twist-2 contribution, which increases the absolute value of the scattering length about 30%. If we apply to the effective mass of in nuclear matter on the basis of the linear density approximation, it shows very slight decrease ( MeV) at normal matter density.
