%0 Journal Article %T Kaonic nuclei excited by the $(K^-,N)$ reaction %A Tadafumi Kishimoto %J Physics %D 1999 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevLett.83.4701 %X We show that kaonic nuclei can be produced by the $(K^-,p)$ and $(K^-,n)$ reactions. The reactions are shown to have cross sections experimentally measurable. The observation of the kaonic nuclei gives a kaon-nucleus potential which answers the question on the existence of kaon condensation in dense nuclear matter especially neutron stars. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/nucl-th/9910014v1
