We make a critical analysis on the theoretical calculations that lead to predictions of deeply bound kaonic states in nuclei. The model set-up, after dropping several important processes and channels, leads unavoidably to an unrealistic…
We obtained a density-dependent analytical expression of binding energy per nucleon for different neutron-proton asymmetry of the nuclear matter (NM) with a polynomial fitting, which manifests the results of effective field theory motivated…
The electric dipole polarizability $\alpha_D$ and the neutron skin thickness $\Delta R_{np}$ of $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ are two powerful and clean probes to constrain the symmetry energy at subsaturation density. Within the framework of the…
Results for the $\pi + N \to \Lambda, \Sigma + K$ reactions in nuclear matter of Ref. nucl-th/0004011 are presented. To evaluate the in-medium modification of the reaction amplitude as a function of the baryonic density we introduce…
We investigate nuclear matter properties in the relativistic Brueckner approach. The in-medium on-shell T-matrix is represented covariantly by five Lorentz invariant amplitudes from which we deduce directly the nucleon self-energy. To…

$\bar K$-nuclear bound systems, kaonic nuclei, have been widely discussed as products of the strongly attractive $\bar K N$ interaction in $I = 0$ channels. Recently, we demonstrated that kaonic nuclei can be produced via in-flight…
A depth of $D_{\Lambda}\approx -28$ MeV for the $\Lambda$-nucleus potential was confirmed in 1988 by studying $\Lambda$ binding energies deduced from $(\pi^+,K^+)$ spectra measured across the periodic table. Modern two-body hyperon-nucleon…

The highlights and main results of this work can be summarized as follows : (1) The energy per nucleon of cold nuclear matter, derived by us using chiral sigma model, is in good agreement with the preliminary estimates inferred from…
Using a phenomenological \={K}N interaction combined with the method of Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics., we predict that few-body double-\kbar nuclei, such as ppK$^-$K$^-$ and ppnK$^-$K$^-$, as well as single-\kbar nuclei, are tightly…
The formation of deeply-bound antikaonic $K^-/\bar{K}^0$ nuclear states by nuclear ($K^-$, $N$) reactions is investigated theoretically within a distorted-wave impulse approximation (DWIA), considering the isospin properties of the…
Correct treatment of subthreshold Kbar-N dynamics is mandatory in kaonic-atom and Kbar-nuclear bound-state calculations, as demonstrated by using in-medium chirally-based models of Kbar-N interactions. Recent studies of kaonic-atom data…

The relativistic mean field (RMF) model is applied to a system of nucleons and a $\bar K$ meson, interacting via scalar and vector boson fields. The model incorporates the standard RMF phenomenology for bound nucleons and, for the $\bar K$…
Possible existence of deeply bound kaonic nuclear systems was proposed Akaishi and Yamazaki (2002} more than a decade ago, based on an ansatz that the Lambda* = Lambda(1405) mass is 1405 MeV/c2, where the Lambda* is a Kbar-N quasi-bound…
We review the current status of our study of $K^-$-nuclear interactions and $K^-$-nuclear quasi-bound states. The adopted $K^-$-nuclear optical potential consists of two parts -- the single-nucleon one constructed microscopically from…
