We review the present status of the experimental and theoretical developments in the field of
strangeness in nuclei and neutron stars. We start by discussing the K ̄ N interaction, that is …

The Λ (1405) baryon resonance plays an outstanding role in various aspects in hadron and
nuclear physics. It has been considered that the Λ (1405) resonance is generated by the …

Using a chiral unitary approach for the meson–baryon interactions, we show that two octets
of Jπ= 1/2− baryon states, which are degenerate in the limit of exact SU (3) symmetry, and a …

The γ n→ K+ Kn reaction on C 12 has been studied by measuring both K+ and K-at forward
angles. A sharp baryon resonance peak was observed at 1.54±0.01 G e V/c 2 with a width …

In this paper, we present a review of recent works on weak decay of heavy mesons and
baryons with two mesons, or a meson and a baryon, interacting strongly in the final state …

We report on recent nonperturbative techniques that combine the information of chiral
Lagrangians (with and without resonances) with unitarity in coupled channels and other …

The effective K¯ N interaction based on chiral SU (3) coupled-channel dynamics is derived
and its extrapolation below the K¯ N threshold is studied in detail. Starting from the coupled …

The strange quark plays a unique role in QCD, reflecting its intermediate mass between the
light and heavy quarks. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the …

The reaction γ+ p→ K++ Σ+ π was used to determine the invariant mass distributions or “line
shapes” of the Σ+ π−, Σ− π+, and Σ 0 π 0 final states, from threshold at 1328 MeV/c 2 through …

Abstract The interaction of\(\textrm {K}^{-}\) with protons is characterised by the presence of
several coupled channels, systems like\({\overline {\textrm {K}}}^ 0\) n and\(\uppi\Sigma\) …
