Low-energy antikaon nucleon interaction physics revisited

Abstract

The strong interaction of antikaons with nucleons and nuclei at low energies is subject to intense studies in theory and experiment. The topics under study cover precision experiments with kaonic atoms, the study of the nature of the famous sub-threshold Λ(1405) resonance and the search of lively discussed antikaon induced nuclear bound states. This talk will give an overview of the different research topics included in the LEANNIS network of the EU integrated activity HadronPhysics2. The present status and perspectives in this scientific field are discussed.
