Kaon nucleus interaction studied by the in-flight (Κ-, N) reaction

Description

The kaon-nucleus interaction was studied by the in-flight (Κ-, n) reaction. The reaction can place a kaon in a nucleus where the kaon is in an unbound region to deeply bound region depending on the kaon-nucleus potential. The observed missing mass spectra shows that the kaon-nucleus potential is strongly attractive. The interaction is so strong that it could realize the so-called kaon condensation in the core of neutron stars. Although it contradict to many theoretical predictions. (author)
