Effects of a kaonic meson on the ground-state properties of nuclei

摘要

The effects of an additional K- meson on the ground-state properties of nuclei are investigated within an axially-deformed Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach combined with a Skyrme-type kaon-nucleon interaction. The K- meson increases the binding energies of all nuclei, whereas it affects deformations only for light nuclei without shell closure. The nucleon drip lines are modified due to the strongly attractive K- interaction. This is attributed to the behavior of the highest-occupied nucleon single-particle levels near the drip lines, which is analyzed in detail.
