    Based on the scenario that a KˉNN\bar{K} N N bound state is generated and it eventually decays into Λp\Lambda p, we calculate the cross section of the K−3He→ΛpnK^{-} {}^{3} \text{He} \to \Lambda p n reaction, which was recently measured in the J-PARC E15 experiment. We find that the behavior of the calculated differential cross section d2σ/dMΛpdqΛpd ^{2} \sigma / d M_{\Lambda p} d q_{\Lambda p}, where MΛpM_{\Lambda p} and qΛpq_{\Lambda p} are the Λp\Lambda p invariant mass and momentum transfer in the (K−, n)(K^{-} , \, n) reaction in the laboratory frame, respectively, is consistent with the experiment. Furthermore, we can reproduce almost quantitatively the experimental data of the Λp\Lambda p invariant mass spectrum in the momentum transfer window 350 MeV/c<qΛp<650 MeV/c350 \text{ MeV} /c < q_{\Lambda p} < 650 \text{ MeV} /c. These facts strongly suggest that the KˉNN\bar{K} N N bound state was indeed generated in the J-PARC E15 experiment.Comment: 4 pages, 4 EPS figures, talk given at the 8th International Conference on Quarks and Nuclear Physics (QNP2018), Tsukuba, Japan, 13-17 November, 201
