Abstract

We show that the experimentally observed fact that the number of

K^{-}

mesons stopping on hydrogen in nuclear emulsion is significantly larger than the number of

π^{-}

is consistent with other known properties of these mesons. The reason is chiefly that the zero energy

π^{-} - p

cross section is anomalously low.
