$\pi \Lambda$ scattering phase shifts and CP violation in $\Xi \to \pi   \Lambda$ decay
  CP-violating signals in weak $ \Xi\to \pi \Lambda$ decay require the knowledge of $\pi \Lambda$ $S$- and $P$-wave scattering phases at ${m}_{\Xi}$ center-of-mass energy. We have calculated these phases in baryon chiral perturbation theory with the ground-state $\Sigma$ in $s$ and $u$ channels and ${{3 \over 2}}^{+}$ $\Sigma(1385)$ in the $u$ channel. We do not treat the baryons as heavy. We find ${\delta}_{S} = {1.2}^{\circ}$ and ${\delta}_{P} = -{1.7}^{\circ}$ with the central value of the strong coupling parameter $D$. We also investigate the variation of the scattering phases as functions of the parameter $D$. We compare this result with previous calculations, and discuss its relevance to CP-asymmetry parameters.
