Low-Energy K(formula presented) Nucleon/Multi-nucleon Interaction Studies by AMADEUS

Abstract

The AMADEUS collaboration aims to provide new experimental constraints to the (formula presented)N strong interaction in the regime of non-perturbative QCD, exploiting low-energy (formula presented) hadronic interactions with light nuclei (e.g. H, (formula presented)He, (formula presented)Be and (formula presented)C). The low-momentum kaons ((formula presented)(formula presented) 127 MeV/c) produced at the DA(formula presented)NE collider are ideal to explore both stopped and in-flight (formula presented) nuclear captures. The KLOE detector is used as an active target, allowing to achieve excellent acceptance and resolutions for the data. In this work the results obtained from the study of (formula presented) and (formula presented) correlated production in the final state are presented.
