In--Flight () Reactions for the Formation of Kaonic Atoms and Kaonic Nuclei in Green function method
We study theoretically the kaonic atom and kaonic nucleus formations in the
in--flight () reactions using the Green function method, which is suited
to evaluate formation rates both of stable and unstable bound systems. We
consider C and O as the targets and calculate the spectra of the
() reactions. We conclude that a no peak structure due to kaonic nucleus
formation is expected in the reaction spectra calculated with the chiral
unitary kaon--nucleus optical potential. In the spectra with the
phenomenological deep kaon--nucleus potential, we may have possibilities to
observe some structures due to kaonic nucleus states. For all cases, we have
peaks due to the kaonic atom formations in the reaction spectra.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures, newly calculated results added, revisions and

Formation of Heavy Meson Bound States by Two Nucleon Pick-up Reactions
We develop a model to evaluate the formation rate of the heavy mesic nuclei
in the two nucleon pick-up reactions, and apply it to the Li target cases
for the formation of heavy meson- bound states, as examples. The
existence of the quasi-deuteron in the target nucleus is assumed in this model.
It is found that the mesic nuclei formation in the recoilless kinematics is
possible even for heavier mesons than nucleon in the two nucleon pick-up
reactions. We find the formation rate of the meson- bound states can be
around half of the elementary cross sections at the recoilless kinematics with
small distortions.Comment: 1 table, 10 figures, 8 page
Recent topics of mesic atoms and mesic nuclei -- mesic nuclei exist ?--
We study -meson production in nuclei to investigate the in-medium
modification of the -meson spectral function at finite density. We
consider (), () and () reactions to produce a
-meson inside the nucleus and evaluate the effects of the medium
modifications to reaction cross sections. The structures of the bound states,
-mesic nuclei, are also studied. For strong absorptive interaction cases,
we need to know the spectrum shape in a wide energy region to deduce the
properties of .Comment: Talk given at EXA08, Vienna, September 2008. To be published in the

Formation of Deeply Bound Kaonic Atoms in (K^-,N) Reactions
We study theoretically the (K^-,N) reactions for the formation of the deeply
bound kaonic atoms, which were predicted to be quasi--stable with narrow
widths, using the Green function method. We consider various cases with
different target nuclei and energies systematically and find the clear signals
in the theoretical spectra for all cases considered in this article. The
signals show very interesting structures, such as the instead
of the resonance peak. We discuss the origins of the interesting structures and
possibilities to get new information on the existence of the kaonic nuclei from
the spectra of the atomic state formations.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figure
The decay of the and resonances in the hidden gauge formalism
Using recent results obtained within the hidden gauge formalism for vector
mesons, in which the and resonances are dynamically
generated resonances from the interaction, we evaluate the
radiative decay of these resonances into . We obtain results for
the width in good agreement with the experimental data for the
state and a width about a factor five smaller for the resonance,
which would agree with preliminary results from the Belle collaboration,
hinting at an order of magnitude smaller width for this resonance than for the

Comment on "Localized behavior near the Zn impurity in YBa2Cu4O8 as measured by nuclear quadrupole resonance"
Williams and Kramer [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 64}, 104506 (2001)] have recently
argued against the existence of staggered magnetic moments residing on several
lattice sites around Zn impurities in YBCO superconductors. This claim, which
is in line with an earlier publication by Williams, Tallon and Dupree [Phys.
Rev. B {\bf 61}, 4319 (2000)], is however in contradiction with a large body of
experimental data from different NMR groups. On the contrary, the authors argue
in favor of a very localized spin and charge density on Cu sites first
neighbors to Zn. We show that the conclusions of Williams and Kramer arise from
erroneous interpretations of NMR and NQR data.Comment: 4 page
