We propose the exact S-matrix for the planar limit of the N = 6 super ChernSimons theory recently proposed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis, and Maldacena for the AdS4/CFT3 correspondence. Assuming SU(2|2) symmetry, factorizability and certain crossing-unitarity relations, we find the S-matrix including the dressing phase. We use this S-matrix to formulate the asymptotic Bethe ansatz. Our result f...
