Exotic atoms provide a unique laboratory for studying strong interactions and nuclear
medium effects at zero kinetic energy. Experimental and theoretical developments of the last …

We discuss strangeness production close to the threshold in p+ A and A+ A collision.
Comparing the body of available K+, K0, K−, and Λ data with the IQMD transport code and …

The ppK-system, as a prototype for possible quasibound K¯ nuclei, is investigated using a
variational approach. Several versions of energy-dependent effective K¯ N interactions …

We briefly review the situation around the claimed deeply bound K-states in different recent
experiments and concentrate particularly on the state K-pp advocated by the FINUDA …

Selected topics in strangeness nuclear physics are critically reviewed. This includes
production, structure and weak decay of Λ-Hypernuclei, the ̄ K nuclear interaction and the …

Three candidate events of the neutron-rich hypernucleus HΛ6 were uniquely identified in the
FINUDA experiment at DAΦNE, Frascati, by observing π+ mesons from the (Kstop−, π+) …

The FINUDA experiment performed a systematic study of the charged mesonic weak decay
channel of p-shell Λ-hypernuclei. Negatively charged pion spectra from mesonic decay were …

We study the properties of K and K¯ mesons in nuclear matter at finite temperature from a
chiral unitary approach in coupled channels that incorporates the s and p waves of the kaon …

A search for tribaryon states was performed at KEK-PS. We adopted the 4He (Kstopped−, p)
reaction to populate the states with strangeness− 1, charge 0 and isospin 1. No significant …

Correlated Λd pairs emitted after the absorption of negative kaons at rest Kstop− A→ ΛdA′
in light nuclei 6Li and 12C are studied. Λ-hyperons and deuterons are found to be …
