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
