Anti-Kaon Induced Reactions on the Nucleon

Abstract

Using a previously established effective Lagrangian model we describe anti-kaon induced reactions on the nucleon. The dominantly contributing channels in the cm-energy region from threshold up to 1.72 GeV are included (K N, \pi \Sigma, \pi \Lambda). We solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation in an unitary $K$-matrix approximation.
