LEANNIS2 LEANNIS-2 Low energy Antikaon-Nucleon (Nucleus) Interaction Studies-2Proposal for HP3 Johann Marton Stefan Meyer Institute Austrian Academy of Sciences ECT* Meeting, October 4, 2010
LEANNIS2 The proposal is based on the results of the running network LEANNIS taking into account new ideas and new opportunities in antikaon interaction physics. ECT* Meeting, October 4, 2010
The Scope The proposed Networking Activities in (exotic) hadronic atoms and nuclei with strangeness are related to • the organization of experimental and theoretical collaborative work concerning ongoing activities at present Research Infrastructures (DAFNE/Frascati, GSI,Jülich) and planned experiments at future facilities. • In hadron physics the close interaction between experimentalists and theoreticians is of paramount importance. ECT* Meeting, October 4, 2010
Characteristics • Studies of atomic bound systems with strangeness (hadronic/kaonic atoms) provide unique access to strong interaction of antikaons at very low energy. • Search for exotic nuclei bound by antikaon(s) • Fascinating research field involving different fields in physics (particle physics, nuclear physics, atomic physics) and energies from GeV to eV. • Unique research infrastructures in EU: DAFNE/LNF, GSI,Jülich. ECT* Meeting, October 4, 2010
Strategy • Enriched science case based on the experience and results of LEANNIS • Low energy antikaon interactions (kaonic atom research) also in preliminary LRP of Nupecc presented at the Town Meeting in Madrid 2010 • New topics in theory and experiments • Important input from experiments for the further development and refinement of theory • Promoting research in the field in Europe and Japan (European participation at J-PARC already realized: E15,17) ECT* Meeting, October 4, 2010

Participantsandtheirrole ECT* Meeting, October 4, 2010
Motivation fornewstudies • The low-energykaon-nucleoninteractionisneither simple nor well understood: • Central importance for the physics of strong interaction has the dynamics driven by chiral symmetry breaking in low-energy QCD. • Problems arise from the existence of subthreshold resonances like the famous Λ(1405) and 2/3 nucleon K- absorption (c.f. E. Oset, H. Toki, PRC74 (2006) 015207) possiblyimitatingboundstates • The development of reliable theories suffers from the lack of precision data on the observables (e.g. shift/width of kaonic atoms) Interestingquestion: Two-pole structure??

“Findings and Recommendations” from the 40th Meeting of the Scientific Committee of LNF June 2010 …The LNF Scientific Committee endorses the scientific relevance of the SIDDHARTA-2 proposal, The LNF Scientific Committee endorses the scientific relevance of the SIDDHARTA-2 proposal, in particular the measurement of kaonic deuterium. … …In addition to kaonic deuterium, SIDDHARTA-2 also aims to study transitions to the s-states in helium-3 and -4 (as opposed to the previously measured transitions to p-states) as well as transitions in kaonic (and even sigmonic) atoms with higher mass numbers. The goal would be to provide theorists with a minimal, yet comprehensive set of measurements with common systematic uncertainties to explore the nuclear in-medium interactions of K mesons. This topic is currently under intense theoretical discussion. It will be explored in J-PARC in the coming years, but mostly by in-flight experiments. Frascati through SIDDHARTA-2 specializing in selected kaonic atoms can contribute uniquely to this frontline topic. … ECT* Meeting, October 4, 2010
Strong interaction in kaonic atoms-the K-He case Kaonic helium-4 Kaonic helium-3 SIDDHARTA gas ε2p= -2 ± 2(stat) ± 4(syst) The day-1 experiment E17 at J-PARC has European partners (LNF/Italy, SMI/Austria). SMI is responsible for the x-ray detector systems. The final experiment might take place already in 2011 but it strongly depends on the performance of the kaon beam. ECT* Meeting, October 4, 2010

RiskAssessment The risk of failure of the network is very small since it consists of a bundle of low-risk sub-projects which are in close connection but not entangled. In the case of the theoretical studies the risk can be assumed as being zero. Only the timeline of experiments within the time boundaries of the network shows some risk because of possible time shifts due to delays of experiments or problems connected with accelerator operation and the available beam time.. The network will be performed in a controlled manner. LEANNIS meetings will take place at least once a year and will help to check the status continuously. In the case of problems to fulfill goals of the network appropriate measures can be taken, e.g. adjustment of the priority list to fulfill the high impact deliverables ECT* Meeting, October 4, 2010
