Abstract

We report on dynamical calculations of multi-over(K, ̄) hypernuclei, which were performed by adding over(K, ̄) mesons to particle-stable configurations of nucleons, Λ and Ξ hyperons. The over(K, ̄) separation energy as well as the baryonic densities saturate with the number of antikaons. We demonstrate that the saturation is a robust feature of multi-over(K, ̄) hypernuclei. Because the over(K, ̄) separation energy Bover(K, ̄) does not exceed 200 MeV, we conclude that kaon condensation is unlikely to occur in finite strong-interaction self-bound {N, Λ, Ξ} strange hadronic systems.
