The behavior of kaon and anti-kaon in dense matter is an important topic, as their nature is closely related to symmetry breaking in low-energy QCD.
The interaction of kaons and anti-kaon with nucleon has been extensively studied with various experiments.These studies found that the Kbar-N interaction in the isospin I=0 channel is sufficient to produce the quasi-bound state Λ(1405).

Bound states caused by attractive $\bar{K}N (I=0)$ interaction, such as $\Lambda(1405)$ and kaonic nuclei, are interesting systems with strangeness.
Many experimental attempts have tried to establish an existence of the lightest kaonic nuclei, "$K^- pp$". However, no clear conclusion was reached. Recently, J-PARC E15 collaboration searched for "$K^- pp$", using the in-flight $K^-...
E15 collaboration at J-PARK reported a clear signal of a KNN quasi-bound state. The width of the state is much larger than theoretical predictions. A series of calculations of the K-pp quasibound state characteristics with different input was performed in order to check, whether it is possible to reach the experimental values.
