  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

  22. E570 experiment • Use 8 SDDs • (Silicon Drift Detector) • - better resolution • σ>300 ⇒ ~150eV • - very thin (~300μm) • (2) Clean stopped K- on helium • events selection • w/ chamber tracking SDD ~10 times more peak statistics S/N~1 → 10 ~2 times improved resolution 19
