Abstract
In-medium subthreshold K¯N scattering amplitudes calculated within a chirally motivated meson-baryon coupled-channel model are used self consistently to confront Kâ atom data across the periodic table. Substantially deeper Kâ nuclear potentials are obtained compared to the shallow potentials derived in some approaches from threshold K¯N amplitudes, with ReVKâchiral=â(85±5) MeV at nuclear matter density. When K¯NN contributions are incorporated phenomenologically, a very deep Kâ nuclear potential results, ReVKâchiral+phen.=â(180±5) MeV, in agreement with density dependent potentials obtained in purely phenomenological fits to the data. Self consistent dynamical calculations of Kâ-nuclear quasibound states generated by VKâchiral are reported and discussed.
