Abstract

The K~ optical potential in the nuclear medium is evaluated self consistently from a free-space K~N t matrix constructed within a coupled-channel chiral approach. The fit of model parameters gives a good description of the low-energy data plus the available K~ atomic data. The resulting optical potential is relatively 'shallow' in contradiction to the potentials obtained from phenomenological analysis. The calculated (K^op:n) hypernuclear production rates are very sensitive to the details of kaonic bound state wave function. The (K^op1n) reaction could thus serve as a suitable tool to distinguish between shallow and deep K~ optical potentials.
