The processes involving $K^{-}p, KN, \Sigma\pi, \Lambda\pi,\Sigma\eta, \Lambda\eta$ coupled channels are studied in the nonperturbative chiral approach. An effective potential is constructed using a chiral meson-baryon Lagrangian at lowest…
The key question of this letter is whether the K-nucleus optical potential is deep, as it is prefered by the phenomenological fits to kaonic atoms data, or shallow, as it comes out from unitary chiral model calculations. The current…
Coupled channels model of meson-baryon interactions based on the effective chiral Lagrangian is extended to account explicitly for the $\Sigma(1385)$ resonance that dominates the $P$-wave $\bar{K}N$ and $\pi\Sigma$ interactions at energies…

A microscopic optical potential based on a chiral model is used as a starting point for studying kaonic atoms levels. We add to this potential a phenomenological part fitted to the experimentally known shifts and widths of kaonic levels.…
