چکیده
We discuss the role of kaon-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon correlations in kaon condensation in dense matter. Correlations raise the threshold density for kaon condensation, possibly to densities higher than those encountered in stable neutron stars.

متن کاملKaon flow as a probe of the kaon potential in nuclear medium.
The flow of kaons, i.e., the average kaon transverse momentum as a function of rapidity, and the associated flow parameter in heavy-ion collisions at SIS/GSI energies is investigated in the relativistic transport model. It is found that the pattern of kaon flow at the final stage is sensitive to the kaon potential used in the model and is thus a useful probe of the kaon potential in a nuclear m...
متن کاملFrom K in heavy-ion collisions to K in kaonic atoms
Kaon production and kaon flow in heavy-ion collisions at SIS energies are analyzed using the relativistic transport model. The experimental data are found to be consistent with the scenario that kaon scalar (before being cut down by the range term) and vector mean field potentials are about 1/3 of that of nucleons in the Walecka model. This also explains the strong attraction found for K− in ka...
متن کاملNeutral Kaon System in Dense Matter and Heavy-ion Collisions
Above a critical matter density the propagating modes of the neutral kaon system are essentially eigenstates of strangeness, but below it they are almost complete eigenstates of CP. We estimate the real and imaginary parts of the energies of these modes and their mixing at all densities up to nuclear matter density 2×1014 g/cm. In a heavy ion collision the strong interactions create eigenstates...
متن کاملSystematic calculation of s - wave pion and kaon self - energies in asymmetric nuclear matter
We calculate the pion self-energies in asymmetric nuclear matter in the two-loop approximation of chiral perturbation theory. We find three types of corrections beyond the well-known linear density approximation. The resulting s-wave potential (or equivalent mass-shift) of a π − in the center of a heavy nucleus like Pb turns out to be U π − = ∆m π − ≃ 14 MeV, about half of what is needed to for...
