31. 31 Λp correlations The extraction of the signal of a bound state in processes involving more than one nucleon can be done only with a scan in with and B.E. with a perfect description of the underlying processes (unless it is very narrow and with high formation rate). Nevertheles, the high invariant mass signal presents some difficulties to be explained with a simple 2NA simulation. ΣN/ΛN conversion process dominates both low and high invariant mass regions. This process can be described quantitatively and qualitatively exploring the YN interaction. The absorption data should require the description of a cusp effect at the  N threshold for the  /  conversion events in 4 He and 12 C Conclusions (I) Oton Vazquez DoceStrangeness in medium with KLOE
