Abstract

We have developed a fully coupled-channel complex scaling method (ccCSM) for the study of the most essential kaonic nucleus, Kpp,"``K^-pp," which is a resonant state of a KˉNN\bar{K}NN-πΣN\pi\Sigma N-πΛN\pi\Lambda N coupled-channel system based on a theoretical viewpoint. By employing the ccCSM and imposing the correct boundary condition of resonance, the coupled-channel problem is completely solved using a phenomenological energy-independent potential. As a result of the ccCSM calculation of Kpp,"``K^-pp," in which all three channels are treated explicitly, we have obtained three-body resonance as a Gamow state. The resonance pole indicates that the binding energy of Kpp"``K^-pp" and the half value of its mesonic decay width are 51 MeV and 16 MeV, respectively. In the analysis of the resonant wave function obtained using the ccCSM, we clarify the spatial configuration and channel compositions of Kpp."``K^-pp." Compared with past studies of single-channel calculations based on effective KˉN\bar{K}N potentials, the current study provides a guideline for the determination of the KˉN\bar{K}N energy to be used in effective potentials.
