Kaonic nuclei studied based on a new framework of Antisymmetric Molecular Dynamics

Abstract

We have developed a new framework of Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics (AMD), to adequately treat the I=0 \={K}N interaction, which is essential to study kaonic nuclei. The improved points are 1) pK$^-$/n\={K}$^0$ mixing and 2) total spin and isospin projections. These improvements enable us to investigate various kaonic nuclei (ppnK$^-$, pppK$^-$, pppnK$^-$, $^6$BeK$^-$ and $^9$BK$^-$) systematically. We have found that they are deeply bound and extremely dense with a variety of shapes.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
