Description

The AMADEUS experiment aims to perform dedicated precision studies in the sector of low-energy kaon-nuclei interaction at the DAΦNE collider at LNF-INFN. In particular the experiment plans to perform measurements of the debated deeply bound kaonic nuclear states (by stopping kaons in cryogenic gaseous targets 3He and 4He) to explore the nature of the Λ(1405) in nuclear environment and to measure the cross section of K− on light nuclei, for K− momentum lower than 100 MeV/c. The AMADEUS dedicated setup will be installed in the central region of the KLOE detector
