An effective low energy Lagrangian density is applied to nuclear $K^-$-dynamics. The free parameters, local s-wave couplings and SU(3)-symmetry constrained range terms are adjusted to describe elastic and inelastic $K^-$-nucleon scattering…
For almost 50 years the structure of the Lambda(1405) resonance has been a mystery. Even though it contains a heavy strange quark and has odd parity, its mass is lower than any other excited spin-1/2 baryon. Dalitz and co-workers speculated…
We report our recent work on a hadronic molecule state of the KbarKN system with I=1/2 and J^P=1/2^+. We assume that the Lambda(1405) resonance and the scalar mesons, f_{0}(980), a_{0}(980), are reproduced as quasi-bound states of KbarN and…
Non-mesonic transition of Lambda(1405) N to YN is investigated as one of the essential processes for the non-mesonic absorption of Kbar in nuclei. Using one-meson exchange model in the calculation of the transition, we find that the…
Based on chiral unitary approach, we construct the realistic KbarN local potential, which is useful for the quantitative calculation of Kbar-nuclei. Since the resonance pole structure of the KbarN system seems important for the Kbar-nuclei…
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…
The light-quark sector of the Lambda(1405) baryon is examined in the context of the recent discovery of a dominant antikaon-nucleon composition at low quark masses. Further evidence for this interpretation of the Lambda(1405) is presented,…
We evaluate the antikaon and hyperon spectral functions in a self-consistent and covariant many-body approach. The computation is based on coupled-channel dynamics derived from the chiral SU(3) Lagrangian. A novel subtraction scheme is…
During its long-lasting history, the $\Lambda(1405)$ has become a benchmark for our understanding of the $\rm SU(3)$ hadron dynamics. Starting with its theoretical prediction and later experimental verification, until the most recent…
We consider $K^-$ nucleon elastic and inelastic scattering in isospin symmetric nuclear matter. It is found that the proper description of the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance structure in nuclear matter requires a self-consistent approach. Then…
We present recent progress on the properties of antikaons in nuclei and dense nuclear matter as obtained from two {\bar K}N interaction models: one based on the lowest-order meson-baryon chiral lagrangian and the other derived from a…
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…
We develop a dynamical coupled-channels model of K^- p reactions, aiming at extracting the parameters associated with hyperon resonances and providing the elementary antikaon-nucleon scattering amplitudes that can be used for investigating…
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…
The status of the light hypernuclei is reviewed, and discussed with models based either on the Nijmegen-RIKEN baryon--baryon interaction or on recent studies using chiral effective field theory. The latter suggests a significantly shorter…

A K \bar{K} N system with I=1/2 and J^P=1/2^+ is investigated with non-relativistic three-body calculations by using effective \bar K N, K \bar K and KN interactions. The \bar K N interaction describes the Lambda(1405) as a \bar K N…
We present here some results supporting the nature of the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance as dynamically generated from the meson baryon interaction in coupled channels and resulting from the superposition of two close-by poles. We find support…
The internal structure of the resonant Lambda(1405) state is investigated based on meson-baryon coupled-channels chiral dynamics, by evaluating density distributions obtained from the form factors of the Lambda(1405) state. The form factors…
The $\Lambda^{\ast}$-hypernuclei, which are bound states of $\Lambda(1405)$ and nuclei, are discussed as a possible interpretation of the $\bar{K}$-nuclei. The Bonn and Nijmegen potentials are extended and used as a phenomenological…
