Hadronic composite states are introduced as few-body systems in hadron physics. The $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance is a good example of the hadronic few-body systems. It has turned out that $\Lambda(1405)$ can be described by hadronic dynamics…
We use recent data on the $K^- p \to \pi^0 \pi^0 \Sigma^0$ reaction with the $\pi^0 \Sigma^0$ mass distribution of forming the $\Lambda(1405)$ with a peak at 1420 MeV and a relatively narrow width of $\Gamma = 38$ MeV, together with those…

We study the $K\Lambda(1405)$ configuration of the $K\bar{K}N$ system by considering $K\pi\Sigma$ as a coupled channel. We solve the Faddeev equations for these systems and find confirmation of the existence of a new $N^{*}$ resonance…
To solve the current debate on the position of the quasi-bound K^-p state, namely, "Lambda(1405) or Lambda*(1420)", we propose to measure the T_{21} = T_{Sigma-pi \leftarrow Kbar-N} Sigma-pi invariant-mass spectrum in stopped-K- absorption…
