Description
Recent developments and phenomena related to low-energy antikaon interactions with baryonic systems are summarized. Expectations for kaonic deuterium and for the Kbar-deuteron scattering length are outlined in view of planned experiments. Updated information is provided concerning the structure of the Lambda(1405).
Hyperon-nucleon interactions from chiral SU(3) effective field theory, their implication for hypernuclei and the role of strangeness in dense baryonic matter are discussed with focus on new constraints from neutron star observations.
