Description
The strong interaction theory in the low energy regime, is still missing fundamental experimental results in order to achieve a breakthrough in its understanding. Among these, the investigation of the low-energy kaon-nucleon/nuclei processes plays a key-role. The talk will give an outline of the results obtained by the AMADEUS experiment performed at the DAFNE Collider of LNF-INFN.
The studies on the non-resonant hyperon pion formation amplitude below the K-N threshold and implications on the nature of the Λ(1405) will be reviewed. An updated report of the branching ratios and of the low-energy cross sections measurements (for kaon momenta up to 130 MeV/c) of the K- single and multi-nucleon absorptions on various light nuclear targets will be given.
I shall conclude with future plans on kaonic-nuclei interaction studies at DAFNE.
