Low-Energy Kaon-Nucleus Interactions at a \phi-Factory

Abstract

Scattering and formation experiments can be performed not only with particle beams, but also, as of old, with particle sources. DA\PhiNE at the c.m. energy of the \phi is a relatively clean source of low-momentum charged and neutral kaons. As such, it can allow experiments unthinkable of at conventional kaon beams. This talk is dedicated to a presentation both of this viewpoint and of the physics that could be learned in this way.
