Energy dependence of $\bar{K}N$ interaction in nuclear medium

Abstract

When the KˉN\bar{K}N system is submerged in nuclear medium the KˉN\bar{K}N scattering amplitude and the final state branching ratios exhibit a strong energy dependence when going to energies below the KˉN\bar{K}N threshold. A sharp increase of KˉN\bar{K}N attraction below the KˉN\bar{K}N threshold provides a link between shallow Kˉ\bar{K}-nuclear potentials based on the chiral KˉN\bar{K}N amplitude evaluated at threshold and the deep phenomenological optical potentials obtained in fits to kaonic atoms data. We show the energy dependence of the in-medium KpK^{-}p amplitude and demonstrate the impact of energy dependent branching ratios on the Λ\Lambda-hypernuclear production rates. \keywords{kaon-nucleon amplitude \and nuclear medium \and hypernuclei
