Seminar TUM, 27 June 2011
The field
• Studies of atomic bound systems with strangeness (hadronic/kaonic atoms) provide unique access to strong interaction of antikaons at very low energies (i.e. in kaonic atoms).
• Search for exotic nuclei bound by antikaon(s)
• Fascinating research field involving different fields in physics (particle physics, nuclear physics, atomic physics) and energies from GeV to eV.
• Unique research infrastructures in Europe: DAFNE/LNF, GSI, Jülich.
Sources of experimental information on the low energy (anti)kaon-nucleon interaction
• Kaon-proton scattering data (old data with large errors, above threshold extrapolation)
• πΣ mass spectrum new studies• Threshold decay ratios• X-ray data of light kaonic atoms (K-p, K-d, K-He)
– Kaonic hydrogen increase precision, threshold data important input for theory
– Kaonic deuterium first experimental studies– Kaonic helium-4 2p shift small (KEK 570),
„superstrong“ antikaon nuclear interaction ruled out?• Reliable theory has to cope these informations
Seminar TUM, 27 June 2011
Motivation for new studies• The low-energy kaon-nucleon interaction is neither simple nor well understood:
• Central importance for the physics of strong interaction has the dynamics driven by
chiral symmetry breaking in low-energy QCD.
• Problems arise from the existence of hyperon resonances like the famous Λ(1405)
and 2/3 nucleon K- absorption (c.f. E. Oset, H. Toki, PRC74 (2006) 015207) possibly
imitating bound states.
• The development of reliable theories is asking for precision data on the threshold
observables (e.g. shift/width of kaonic atom states).Seminar TUM, 27 June 2011
Interesting question:Two-pole structure??Λ(1405) & Λ(1420) and their impact

Kaonic Hydrogen
Seminar TUM, 27 June 2011
Kaonic hydrogen and deuterium• Principal interaction = electromagnetic.
• Strong interaction manifests in hadronic shift and width of the 1s state energy displacement from the electromagnetic value of the 1s state and broadening due to K- absorption
• calculated solving the Klein-Gordon (KG) equation and taking into account vacuum polarization (VP) and final size (FS) effect (accuracy ~1eV).
• Strong interaction effect on 2p state is weak (meV) and experimentally undetermined, nevertheless has severe consequences for the x-ray yield.

Kaonic hydrogen "puzzle"
KpX @ KEK
DEAR@LNF
X-ray experiments gave a positive energy shift of the 1s state by strong interaction in kaonic hydrogen.
in the contrary scattering experiments indicated a negative energy shift.
This puzzling situation was clarified in the KpX experiment and later by our group with DEAR.

Solved puzzles – Status before SIDDHARTA
• Kaonic hydrogen puzzle was qualitatively solved (sign) but precision was limited, furthermore the case of kaonic deuterium was unexplored
• Kaonic helium-4 puzzle was quantitatively solved but verification was asked for and the strong interaction in helium-3 was unexplored this was solved by SIDDHARTA.
• On the other hand precision data are requested for reliable theoretical description of the low-energy anti-kaon nucleon interaction and in the context of the existence of kaonic nuclear bound states

“To summarize, one may expect that the combined analysis of the forthcoming high-precision data from DEAR/SIDDHARTA collaboration on kaonic hydrogen and deuterium will enable one to perform a stringenttest of the framework used to describe low–energy kaon deuteron scattering, as well as to extract the values of a0 and a1 with a reasonable accuracy. However, in order to do so, much theoretical work related to the systematic calculation of higher-order corrections within the non-relativistic EFT is still to be carried out.” (from: Kaon-nucleon scattering lengths from kaonic deuterium, Meißner, Raha, Rusetsky, 2006, arXiv:nucl-th/0603029)

• Λ(1405) – pole structure ? Consequences?• Strength of antikaon-nucleon interaction below
