  11. Summary of E471 results ＊S+(3140) notconclusive ＊Only upper limits on widths ＊Large error on formation rate / mass 9

  12. What was observed ? - K bound nuclei？ ・We searched for this… ・Much different energy from the initial prediction ・Excited state? ・High density? Only the energy is known - nonaquark? Need further study !! ・H-dibaryon？ - pionic  Hypernucleus？ ・energy is close to π+Λ+nuclei … - Two-nucleon absorption？ ・K- + “d” → Σ- + p (back-to-back) ・Stopped d in  ? ・Too-high Σ energy (βγcτ～2cm) 11

  13. - one nucleon is in p-wave? A. Dote et al. : PLB590 (2004) 51 What is the situation？ (theory) (experiment) p n particle (other) K-3He atom E theory(isospin triplet) ~ Σ π threshold Binding energy theory (isospin singlet) ~ 200 MeV (isospin singlet) observed (isospin triplet) 10
