Λ = Λ(1405) plays an essential role in the formation of kaonic nuclear clusters (KNC). The simplest KNC, Kpp, has the structure Λp = (Kp)p, in which a real kaon migrates between two nucleons, mediating super-strong Λp attraction. Production data of Kpp have been accumulated by DISTO, J-PARC E27 and J-PARC E15 experiments. For KKpp the attractive covalent bond of ΛΛ is doubly enhanced compared to the Λp one. Consequently, Λ multiplet, (Λ), with m(m-1)/2 bonds becomes more stable than its corresponding neutron aggregate, (n), at m = 8-12, suggesting the possible existence of stable Λ matter. A long-lived strangelet of (Λ) is presumed as a precursor. The production of KKpp by high-energy pp or heavy-ion collisions is awaited as a doorway to so-far unknown Λ matter.
Λ = Λ(1405)在奇异原子核团簇(KNC)的形成中起着至关重要的作用。最简单的KNC,Kpp,具有结构Λp = (Kp)p,其中一个实介子在两个核子之间迁移,介导超强的Λp吸引力。DISTO、日本质子加速器研究中心(J-PARC)的E27和E15实验已经积累了Kpp的产生数据。对于KKpp,与Λp键相比,ΛΛ的吸引共价键增强了两倍。因此,具有m(m-1)/2个键的Λ多重态(Λ)在m = 8 - 12时比其相应的中子聚集体(n)更稳定,这表明可能存在稳定的Λ物质。一个长寿命的(Λ)奇异粒子被认为是其前驱体。高能质子-质子或重离子碰撞产生KKpp被视为通向迄今未知的Λ物质的途径。
