Toward the synthesis of cold and dense anti-kaonic nuclear systems at J-PARC Toshimitsu Yamazaki, Univ Tokyo, RIKEN with Y. Akaishi and other collaborators KAON from Erich’s dream toward Kaon Condensed Matter
“DR KAON” * Successful birth of 3 Meson Factories ~ 1974: Los Alamos, SIN, TRIUMF * Sciences with mesons, as well as sciences of the mesons (incl. muons) * Next generation ~ 1980’s planned & proposed Erich’s KAON factory: from Canadian to Global * The idea inherited to J-PARC Erich’s great contribution 1974 ~ * Central problems to be pursued: K meson (Kaon: Nambu-Goldstone boson) chiral symmetry restoration
Fronties of Nuclear Regime nuclear physics law: density = constant High temperature High density: Quark-Gluon Plasma being explored at relativistic HI collisions at BNL and CERN Low temperature High density ?? Nothing is known except neutron stars Key elements: PIONS & KAONS Chiral symmetry restoration

Concerted experimental evidence for high-density K - pp * 2010 DISTO: enormous yield in short-range and high-q p + p collision * 2014 J-PARC E27: very small cross section, but successfully identified
DISTO results A gigantic peak observed T.Y. et al., PRL 104 (2010) 1.A robust peak observed in pp K + + p + at large angle deviation spectra of both M(p ) and M(K) 2. Presence of K - pp established with B K = MeV, = MeV in agreement with the deep regime not with the shallow regime 3. Peak / continuum ~ 0.1; 1405 / ~ 0.1 extraordinary sticking X / 1405 ~ 1, as predicted proving K - pp strongly bound, dense

* Impacts of the observed K - pp: Enormous cross section of p + p -> K - pp + K + Low cross section at d( ,K + ) dense system Binding energy by a factor of 2 larger than theory indicates 20% enhanced Kbar-N attraction suggesting chiral symmetry restoration; increasing attraction, densities Hadronic phase to quark-gluon phase !?

Farewell to Erich Last time I reported all my excitements on KAON to Erich, when he visited us in Tokyo, we resonated on the same excitement. Farewell to Erich, I thank you deeply for your helps to us to explore and establish strong international collaborations (not only myself, but also my colleagues in Japan). Erich’s most important legacy to us: his enthusiasm, passion, stimulation toward cultivation of young human generation that has produced scientific developments
