Abstract: (Elsevier)
The density depedence of the K − optical potential V opt ( r ) at zero kinetic energy is studied by fitting it to a comprehensive set of atomic data across the periodic table. Two families of solutions offering improved fits over that for a t eff ϱ ( r ) parameterization are identified, one containing solutions for V opt with r.m.s. radii larger than those of the matter density ϱ, as expected from finite-range folding corrections. The other gives rise to Re V opt of a size smaller than that of ϱ. The latter family offers substantially improved fits to the data, with particularly strong attraction inside the nucleus (200 ± 20 MeV). For a subfamily of solutions, V opt becomes repulsive at large distances, and solutions satisfying the low-density limit V opt → t K N ϱ can be found. Comments are made on the relevance of Λ(1405) nuclear dynamics to these findings.- K- nucleus: potential
