چکیده

The main features of coupled-channel K̄N dynamics near threshold and its repercussions in few-body K̄-nuclear systems are briefly reviewed highlighting the I = 1/2 K̄NN system. For heavier nuclei, the extension of mean-field calculations to multi-K̄ nuclear quasibound states is discussed focusing on kaon condensation.

Chiral SU ( 3 ) dynamics and the quasibound K − pp cluster

The prototype of a K̄ nuclear cluster, K−pp, has been investigated using effective K̄N potentials based on chiral SU(3) dynamics. Variational calculation shows a bound state solution with shallow binding energy B(K−pp) = 20±3 MeV and broad mesonic decay width Γ (K̄NN → πY N) = 40 70 MeV. The K̄N(I = 0) pair in the K−pp system exhibits a similar structure as the Λ(1405). We have also estimated the d...

¯k-nuclear Deeply Bound States? ∗

Following the prediction by Akaishi and Yamazaki of relatively narrow K̄-nuclear states, deeply bound by over 100 MeV where the main decay channel K̄N → πΣ is closed, several experimental signals in stopped K reactions on light nuclei have been interpreted recently as due to such states. In this talk I review (i) the evidence from K-atom data for a deep K̄-nucleus potential, as attractive as V K̄ (...

Chiral approach to antikaons in dense matter

Antikaons in dense nuclear matter are studied using a chiral unitary approach which incorporates the sand p-waves of the K̄N interaction. We include, in a self-consistent way, Pauli blocking effects, meson self-energies modified by nuclear short-range correlations and baryon binding potentials. We show that the on-shell factorization cannot be applied to evaluate the in-medium corrections to p-w...

Chiral Dynamics, Structure of Λ(1405), and K̄n Phenomenology

We investigate the structure of the Λ(1405) resonance and K̄N phenomenology in the perspective of chiral SU(3) dynamics. Utilizing the chiral coupled-channel approach which well describes the K̄N scattering observable, we perform three different analyses to clarify the structure of the Λ(1405) resonance. The results consistently indicate the meson-baryon molecule picture of the Λ(1405). We argue ...

Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt (M), Germany; 2GSI, Darmstadt, Germany; 3Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain; 4Universitat de Valencia-CSIC, Valencia, Spain The interaction of the K̄ with nuclei has received lots of attention over the last years. The modified Λ(1405) in the medium governs the K̄N interaction close to threshold and gives rise ...
