Hypernuclei and kaonic atoms

Invited

The elementary YN interaction remains of significant and continuing interest in nuclear physics. On the one hand, it is important to understand hadron dynamics in which the strange quark is involved and to construct a comprehensive picture of the baryon-baryon interaction. On the other hand, reliable YN potentials are needed for in-medium calculations, such as of hypernuclear structure and the...

Hypernuclei and kaonic atoms

Invited

Study of the hyperon-nucleon (YN) interactions is vital to expand our knowledge on the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction to the generalized baryon-baryon (BB) interactions within the SU(3) flavor symmetry. It leads to an essential understanding of the baryon-baryon interactions as the interactions between quark clusters. Such inter-quark interactions should play an essential role in generating...

Invited

Charge symmetry breaking (CSB) in the mirror ${}_{\mathrm{\Lambda }}^4\mathrm{H}{-}_{\mathrm{\Lambda }}^4\mathrm{H}\mathrm{e}$ hypernuclei has been known for decades. Recent experimental measurements [1,2] confirmed the large CSB splitting in the corresponding $0^{+}$ states $\mathrm{\Delta }B(0^{+})=233\pm 92$~keV while the experimental value for the $1^{+}$ excited states $\mathrm{\Delta }B(1^{+})=-83\pm 94$~keV allows a change of sign, being...

Hypernuclear structure studies have been progressing steadily through the $K$- and $\pi$-induced production reaction experiments, especially by the recent $\gamma$-ray coincidence measurements with the large volume Ge detector.

Experimental investigation of the strong interaction in the low-energy regime is mandatory to constrain models of the low-energy meson-baryon interaction, with implications in several fields, ranging from the search for exotic mesic nuclear bound states, to the structure of compact astrophysical objects like the neutron stars.

Systems like $\bar{\mathrm{K}}$N and baryon–antibaryon (B$\bar{\mathrm{B}}$) are both characterized by the presence of strong inelastic channels at the production threshold, which can affect the properties and the formation of bound states and resonances. The K${}^{-}$p interaction is characterized by the presence of several coupled channels, systems with a similar mass and the same quantum...
