Abstract

The paper is devoted to the KˉNNN\bar{K}NNN system, which is an exotic system consisting of an antikaon and three nucleons. Dynamically exact four-body Faddeev-type equations were solved and characteristics of the quasi-bound state in the system were evaluated. Three antikaon-nucleon and three nucleon-nucleon potentials were used, so the dependence of the four-body pole positions on the two-body interaction models was studied. The resulting binding energies BKppnChiral30.534.5B^{\rm Chiral}_{K^-ppn} \sim 30.5 - 34.5 MeV obtained with chirally motivated and BKppnSIDD46.452.0B^{\rm SIDD}_{K^-ppn} \sim 46.4 - 52.0 MeV obtained with phenomenological antikaon-nucleon potentials are close to those obtained for the KppK^- pp system with the same KˉN\bar{K}N and NNNN potentials, while the four-body widths ΓKppn38.250.9\Gamma_{K^- ppn} \sim 38.2 - 50.9 MeV are smaller.
