K-bar mesonic nuclei. Status of the theoretical progress

Abstract

The present status of theoretical investigation of K-bar nuclei are reviewed. Antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) explains the most observational evidence of K-bar nuclei; deep bound state of K-bar with very strong attractive potential; extremely high densities with a variety of shapes; and strong isospin dependence. But, in an experiment on the search of K-bar nuclei at KEK, M. Iwasaki et al. observed that the pnnk{sup -} (T=1) bounds much deeper than the ppnK{sup -}(T=0). This fact seems contradict the prediction of AMD model heretofore in which the isospin 0 channel is much stronger than the isospin 1. The present review focuses the theoretical interpretation of this reversal and the implication of its consequence on the K-bar nucleus in general. It was indicated that in pnnK{sup -} (T=1), the nucleon system takes an excited state of (0s){sup 2}(0p) rather than (0s){sup 3}, giving a deeper binding energy for ppnK{sup -} (T=0). For the (0s){sup 2}(0p) configuration, the contribution of I=0 K-bar N interaction is much larger than the case for (0s){sup 3} configuration. Additional energy gain is induced by 1-s terms due to higher contraction of K-bar nuclei. The inversion of the binding energy for ppnK{sup -} and pnnK{sup -} may  More>>
