Abstract

All five KEK and J-PARC two-body Ξ\Xi^-+A^AZ \to ΛA^{A'}_{\Lambda}Z'+ΛA^{A''}_{\Lambda}Z'' capture events in light emulsion nuclei, including KISO and IBUKI in 14^{14}N, are consistent with Coulomb-assisted 1pΞ1p_{\Xi^-} nuclear states. The underlying Ξ\Xi-nuclear potential is strongly attractive, with nuclear-matter depth VΞV_{\Xi} larger than 20 MeV. The recent 14^{14}N capture events KINKA and IRRAWADDY assigned by J-PARC E07 to 1sΞ1s_{\Xi^-} nuclear states, and implying considerably shallower VΞV_{\Xi}, have also another interpretation as 1pΞ01p_{\Xi^0} nuclear states.
