Description
We review our latest calculations of $K^-$-nuclear quasi-bound states. We apply a self-consistent scheme for constructing $K^-$-nuclear potentials from subthreshold chirally inspired $K^-$$N$ scattering amplitudes, which are derived within several chirally motivated meson-baryon coupled-channel interaction models: Prague [1], Kyoto- Munich [2], Murcia [3], and Bonn [4]. They capture the physics of the Λ(1405) and reproduce low energy $K^-N$ observables, including the 1s level shift and width in the $K^-$ hydrogen atom from the SIDDHARTA experiment [5]. We consider the in-medium versions of the scattering amplitudes taking into account Pauli blocking in the intermediate states. We calculate $K^-$ binding energies and widths in various nuclei and study the effects of 2N absorption, core polarization and the P-wave interaction on the considered observables. The chirally inspired $K^-N$ potentials supplemented with phenomenological terms representing $K^-$ multinucleon processes were recently confronted [6] with kaonic atom and $K^-$ absorption data to provide another test of considered interaction models.
