| 概要 | The branching ratios of K- absorption in nuclear matter are theoretically investigated in order to understand the mechanism of K- absorption into nuclei. For this purpose mesonic and nonmesonic absorption potentials are evaluated as functions of nuclear density, the kaon momentum, and energy from one- and two-body K- self-energy, respectively. By using a chiral unitary approach for the s-wave K̄N amplitude we find that both the mesonic and nonmesonic absorption potentials are dominated by the Λ(1405) contributions. The fraction of the mesonic and nonmesonic absorptions are evaluated to be respectively about 70% and 30% at the saturation density almost independently of the kaon momentum. We also observe different behavior of the branching ratios to π+Σ- and π-Σ+ channels in mesonic absorption due to the interference between Λ(1405) and the I=1 nonresonant background, which is consistent with experimental results. The nonmesonic absorption ratios [Λp]/[Σ0p] and [Λn]/[Σ0n] are about unity while [Σ+n]/[Σ0p] and [Σ-p]/[Σ0n] are about 2 due to the Λ(1405) dominance in absorption. Taking into account the kaon momenta and energies, the absorption potentials become weaker due to the downward shift of the initial K-N two-body energy, but this does not drastirally change the nonmesonic fraction. The Σ(1385) contribution in the p-wave K̄N amplitude is examined and found to be very small compared to the Λ(1405) contribution in slow K- absorption. © 2012 American Physical Society. |
