High-density K nuclear systems with isovector deformation
Using a phenomenological KN potential which reproduces $Λ$(1405) as an I=0 bound state of KN, we investigated deeply bound kaonic nuclei, ppnK$^-$ and $^8$BeK$^-$, with the method of Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics. Our calculations show that strongly bound kaonic nuclear systems with unusual exotic structures are formed around the K$^-$, which attracts the surrounding nucleons to an extremely high-density assembly and induces a proton-neutron separation, ``isovector deformation''.
