Abstract
In the reaction of K¯-meson nuclear absorption, three fundamental processes are considered: a direct (nonresonant) K¯+Nπ+Λ0 reaction, the same reaction with the Y1* resonance formation in the intermediate state, and the reaction with a Σ production in the first stage and its subsequent conversion into a Λ0 in a successive collision with another nucleon. The "zero-range" impulseapproximation is assumed. The initial K¯ state is an nS or an mP Bohr mesoatomic orbit. Several forms of the Λ0-nucleus final-state interaction are considered. For the case of the K¯+He4π+Λ0+He3 reaction the recoiling-He3 momentum distribution, the pion momentum distribution, and the π+Λ0 He3 angular distribution are analyzed. It turns out that in order to explain the He3 momentum distribution no elastic scattering distortion of the Λ0-He3 wave is sufficient, and one has to introduce the ΣΛ0 conversion amplitude, which is most important at high He3-momenta, and which also improves our pion momentum distribution.
