We describe in detail how one computes supergraviton scattering amplitudes in the effective quantum mechanical super Yang-Mills description of D0 brane dynamics (alias M(atrix) Theory). Beginning with the construction of supergraviton states, thereafter an “LSZ” formalism allowing one to write S-matrix elements will be presented along with explicit results for eikonal scattering of 2 and 3 supergravitons. Attempts to probe M-theoretical higher curvature corrections seen at higher loop order in d = 11 SUGRA will also be discussed.
