we can represent the difference between their distributions.

Dense kaonic nuclei

• Introduction

• Phenomenological KbarN potential

and study with a simple model

• Kaonic nuclei studied with

Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics

• Double kaonic nuclei

• Summary and Remarks

Summary The excited hyperon Λ(1405) is considered to be a quasi-bound state of K- and proton.

According to the systematic study of light kaonic nuclei (3HeK- ~ 11CK-) with Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics + G-matrix + a phenomenological KbarN interaction,

1. Kaonic nuclei are deeply bound below πΣ threshold! Binding energy of K- > 100 MeV

2. Strong attraction of K- changes nuclear structure drastically!

3. Dense state is formed in kaonic nuclei, against the nuclear saturation property. (averaged density: 2～ 4 ρ0)

4. Interesting structures isovector deformation @ 8BeK-

proton satellite @ K-ppp

1. Low energy scattering data (I=0 KbarN scattering length)

2. Kaonic hydrogen atom data (K-p scattering length)

3. Λ(1405) : B. E. (K-p) = 28 MeV, Γ(πΣ) = 40 MeV

Very attractive KbarN potential in I=0 channel

Theoretical studies of nuclear system with anti-kaons

• Medium to heavy nuclei with multi-antikaons

• Nuclear matter with antikoans

Neutron star, kaon condensation…

• Light nuclei with a single antikaon

3HeK- ～ 11CK- studied with AMD + G-matrix + AY potential

E(K)≒100MeV

• Light nuclei with double antikaons

3HeK-K- etc studied with AMD + G-matrix + AY potential

E(2K)≒200MeV

Studied with Relativistic Mean Field

Repulsive KbarKbar interaction

Saturation for the number of antikaons

Central nuclear density and Separation energy of anti-kaon

(or Kaon’s binding energy / kaon) are saturated.

•The phenomenological KbarN potential is all right?

πΣ-πΣ potential is completely neglected,

although it is somewhat strongly attractive in chiral SU(3) theory.

Questions to Deeply Bound Kaonic Nuclei

•Two nucleon absorption?

2

NKNN YN

It should be terribly large at high density.

So, such kaonic nuclei can’t survive?

Remarks

•The G-matrix treatment is adequate?

NN repulsive core is too smoothed out?

As a result, such a dense state is formed??

“Independent-pair assumption” still holds???
