The parameters of separable coupled channels s-wave potentials for the strong
KN interaction are determined from low energy K⁻p scattering data with
additional constraints from π⁻p π∑K° production data. The shifts and
widths of the Coulomb bound states in kaonic hydrogen are calculated with
these potentials and compared with experiment....
Optical potential for antikaon-nucleus strong interactions are constructed using
elementary antikaon-nucleus potentials determined previously. The optical potentials
are used to determine the existence of a kaon hypernucleus. Modern three
dimensional visualization techniques are used to study model dependences, new
methods for speeding the calculation of the optical potential are developed,...
