Kaonic nuclei excited by the $(K^-,N)$ reaction

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We show that kaonic nuclei can be produced by the (K,p)(K^-,p) and (K,n)(K^-,n) reactions. The reactions are shown to have cross sections experimentally measurable. The observation of the kaonic nuclei gives a kaon-nucleus potential which answers the question on the existence of kaon condensation in dense nuclear matter especially neutron stars.
