The capture of K$^-$ mesons on nucleons bound in nuclei offer a chance to study the $\Sigma \pi$ pairs below the kinematic threshold of the $\bar{\mathrm{K}}$N systems. Various hyperon-pion charged combination are presently under…

The $K^- d \to \pi YN$reaction is theoretically studied so as to investigate the $K^{-}$-induced production of the hyperon resonances $\Sigma (1385)$ and $\Lambda (1405)$. For this purpose we take into account the p-wave amplitudes for the…

The determination of low-energy cross sections and branching ratios of the K$^-$ multi-nucleon absorption processes in $\Lambda$p and $\Sigma^0$p final states performed by the AMADEUS collaboration is presented. Low momentum K$^-$…

We performed a coincidence measurement of two nucleons emitted from the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) of ^{5}_{\Lambda}He formed via the ^{6}Li(\pi^+,K^+) reaction. The energies of two nucleons and the pair number distributions in the…

The nature of the Lambda(1405) is discussed based on the unitarised coupled-channels approach with chiral dynamics (chiral unitary model). This approach describes the Kbar N scattering cross sections and the Lambda(1405) spectra…

We investigate the reaction of $\gamma N \to K \bar{K} N$ focusing on the photoproduction of $\Lambda(1520)$ and putative exotic $\Theta(1540)$. We consider various background production mechanisms including the production of vector mesons,…

The general character of 4-quark (mesonic) and strange 6-quark (baryonic) quark systems is very briefly reviewed a la Jaffe, i.e. in the MIT bag, and so far still possibly viable candidates are indicated. Concentration is on S=-2 systems.…

Variational Monte Carlo calculations for ${_{\Lambda}^4}H$ (ground and excited states) and ${_{\Lambda}^5}He$ are performed to decipher information on ${\Lambda}$-nuclear interactions. Appropriate operatorial nuclear and ${\Lambda}$-nuclear…

In this work, we make a theoretical study on the $p \bar p \rightarrow \Lambda \bar\Lambda \eta$ reaction for antiproton beam energy from threshold to 4GeV within an effective Lagrangian approach and isobar model. By assuming this reaction…

We have measured the angular correlation of the pair nucleons np and nn emitted from the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) of ^{12}_{Lambda}C produced via the (pi^+,K^+) reaction in coincidence measurement. The Lambda p -> np and Lambda n -> nn…

We analyze the peaks in the (Lambda p) and (Lambda d) invariant mass distributions, observed in recent FINUDA experiments and claimed to be signals of deeply bound kaonic states, and find them to be naturally explained in terms of K-…

The present status in the field of strange mesons in nuclei and neutron stars is reviewed. In particular, the $\bar K N$ interaction, that is governed by the presence of the $\Lambda(1405)$, is analyzed and the formation of the $\bar K NN$…

We study the photoproduction of $K^*(892)$ vector meson from both the charged and neutral reactions, $\gamma p \to K^{*+} \Lambda$ and $\gamma n \to K^{*0} \Lambda$. The production mechanisms that we consider include $t$-channel $K^*$, $K$,…

A search for tribaryon states was performed at KEK-PS. We adopted the $^4$He($K^-_{stopped}, p)$ reaction to populate the states with strangeness -1, charge 0 and isospin 1. No significant narrow structure was observed in the mass region…
