Abstract

Dynamical effects for K̄ deeply bound nuclear states are explored within a relativistic mean field (RMF) model. Varying the strength of K̄ - nucleus interaction, we cover a wide range of binding energies in order to evaluate the corresponding widths. A lower limit Γ = 50 ± 10 MeV is placed on the width expected for binding energy in the range of B ∼ 100 - 200 MeV. Substantial polarization of the core nucleus is found in light nuclei. We discuss the results of the FINUDA experiment at DAΦNE which presented evidence for deeply bound K- pp states in Li and 12C.
