For a quantum dot (QD) in the intermediate regime between integrable and fully chaotic, the widths of single-particle levels naturally differ by orders of magnitude. In particular, the width of one strongly coupled level may be larger than…

New calculations of the quasi-bound state in the $K^- pp$ system using Faddeev-type equations in AGS form with coupled $\bar{K}NN$ and $\pi \Sigma N$ channels were performed. A chiral $\bar{K}N$ potential together with phenomenological…

We have measured the Balmer-series x-rays of kaonic $^4$He atoms using novel large-area silicon drift x-ray detectors in order to study the low-energy $\bar{K}$-nucleus strong interaction. The energy of the $3d \to 2p$ transition was…

The FOPI Collaboration at the GSI SIS-18 synchrotron measured charged kaons from central and semi-central collisions of Ni+Ni at a beam energy of 1.91A GeV. We present the distribution of the K$^-$\K$^+$ ratio on the energy vs polar angle…

Very recently it was predicted the existence of a charged state near the $D_s\bar{D}^*/D^*_s\bar{D}$ threshold. This state, that we call $Z_{cs}^+$, would be the strange partner of the recently observed $Z_c^\pm(3900)$. Using standard…

We observed a distinct peak in the $\Lambda p$ invariant mass spectrum of $^{3}{\rm He}(K^-, \, \Lambda p)n$, well below the mass threshold of $m_K + 2 m_p$. By selecting a relatively large momentum-transfer region $q = 350 \sim 650$…

Binding energies and widths of three-body KbarNN, and of four-body KbarNNN and KbarKbarNN nuclear quasibound states are calculated in the hyperspherical basis, using realistic NN potentials and subthreshold energy dependent chiral KbarN…

Experiments with $\Xi^-$ atoms are proposed in order to study the nuclear interaction of $\Xi$ hyperons. The production of $\Xi^-$ in the ($K^{-}$, $K^{+}$) reaction, the $\Xi^-$ stopping in matter, and its atomic cascade are incorporated…

We have observed a "$K^-pp$"-like structure in the $d(\pi^+,K^+)$ reaction at 1.69 GeV/$c$. In this reaction $\Lambda(1405)$ hyperon resonance is expected to be produced as a doorway to form the $K^-pp$ through the $\Lambda^*p\rightarrow…

We present predictions for the the K^- \alpha scattering length obtained within the framework of the multiple scattering approach. Evaluating the pole position of the K^- \alpha scattering amplitude within the zero range approximation, we…

A cavity QED system is analyzed which duplicates the dynamics of a two-level atom in free space interacting exclusively with broadband squeezed light. We consider atoms in a three or four-level Lambda-configuration coupled to a high-finesse…

The $K^-d\rightarrow\pi\Lambda N$ reaction is useful for exploring the hyperon-nucleon interaction through final state interactions. In particular, the cusp structure of the $\Lambda N$ invariant mass spectrum at the $\Sigma N$ threshold…

A chirally-motivated coupled-channel $\bar{K}N$ potential, reproducing all low-energy experimental data on $K^- p$ scattering and kaonic hydrogen and suitable for using in accurate few-body calculations, was constructed. The potential was…

We study the two-body problem of the ultracold fermionic alkaline-earth (like) atoms in the electronic $^1$S$_0$ state ($g$-state) and $^3$P$_0$ state ($e$-state), which are confined in a quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) tube. In addition,…
