The $(K^-,K^+)$ $Xi^-$ production inclusive spectrum is reinvestigated in view of the very weak $Xi$-nucleus potential predicted by microscopic calculations with the SU$_6$ quark-model baryon-baryon interaction. The inclusive spectrum is evaluated by the semiclassical distorted wave (SCDW) method. The explicit comparison of the strength function with that of the Green-function method demonstrates the quantitative reliability of the SCDW approximation. It is presumed that the presently available data at the $Xi$ production threshold region does not necessarily imply the attractive strength of about 15 MeV for the $Xi$-nucleus potential in a conventional Woods-Saxon form. Instead, an almost zero potential is preferable.

The E885 collaboration utilized the 1.8 GeV/c K^- beam line at the AGS to accumulate 3 x 10^5 (K^-,K^+) events. Xi hypernuclear states are expected to be produced through the reaction K^- + ^{12}C -> K^+ + ^{12}_{Xi}Be. The measured missing-mass spectrum indicates the existence of a signal below the threshold for free Xi production. Although the resolution was not sufficient to resolve discrete hypernuclear states, the excess of events in the region of missing mass, kinematically inaccessible in free Xi production, is compared to theoretical prediction for ^{12}_{Xi}Be production.
A relativistic transport model is used to study Xi- production in 2-11A GeV Au+Au collisions. Introducing the strangeness-exchange reactions between antikaons and hyperons as the sources for Xi-, we find that the cascade yield in these collisions is in reasonable agreement with the data. Although the Xi- abundance does not reach chemical equilibrium unless the cross section for strangeness-exchange reactions is enhanced by six times, it exhibits the strongest enhancement with increasing centrality of collision and with increasing beam energy.
We study the production of $Xi^-$-hypernuclei, $^{12}_{Xi^{-}}$Be and $^{28}_{Xi^{-}}$Mg, via the ($K^-,K^+$) reaction within a covariant effective Lagrangian model, employing the bound $Xi^-$ and proton spinors calculated by the latest quark-meson coupling model. The present treatment yields the $0^circ$ differential cross sections for the formation of simple s-state $Xi^-$ particle-hole states peak at a beam momentum around 1.0 GeV/c with a value in excess of 1 $mu$b.
The $bar{K} + N to K + Xi$ reaction is studied for center-of-momentum energies ranging from threshold to 3 GeV in an effective Lagrangian approach that includes the hyperon $s$- and $u$-channel contributions as well as a phenomenological contact amplitude. The latter accounts for the rescattering term in the scattering equation and possible short-range dynamics not included explicitly in the model. Existing data are well reproduced and three above-the-threshold resonances were found to be required to describe the data, namely, the $Lambda(1890)$, $Sigma(2030)$, and $Sigma(2250)$. For the latter resonance we have assumed the spin-parity of $J^P=5/2^-$ and a mass of 2265 MeV. The $Sigma(2030)$ resonance is crucial in achieving a good reproduction of not only the measured total and differential cross sections, but also the recoil polarization asymmetry. More precise data are required before a more definitive statement can be made about the other two resonances, in particular, about the $Sigma(2250)$ resonance that is introduced to describe a small bump structure observed in the total cross section of $K^- + p to K^+ + Xi^-$. The present analysis also reveals a peculiar behavior of the total cross section data in the threshold energy region in $K^- + p to K^+ + Xi^-$, where the $P$- and $D$-waves dominate instead of the usual $S$-wave. Predictions for the target-recoil asymmetries of the $bar{K} + N to K + Xi$ reaction are also presented.
In this talk, we investigate $Xi(1690)^-$ production from the $K^-pto K^+K^-Lambda$ reaction wit the effective Lagrangian method and consider the $s$- and $u$-channel $Sigma/Lambda$ ground states and resonances for the $Xi$-pole contributions, in addition to the $s$-channel $Lambda$, $u$-channel nucleon pole, and $t$-channel $K^-$-exchange for the $phi$-pole contributions. The $Xi$-pole includes $Xi(1320)$, $Xi(1535)$, $Xi(1690)(J^p=1/2^-)$, and $Xi(1820)(J^p=3/2^-)$. We compute the Dalitz plot density of $(d^2sigma/dM_{K^+K^-}dM_{K^-Lambda}$ at 4.2 GeV$/c$) and the total cross sections for the $K^-pto K^+K^-Lambda$. Employing the parameters from the fit, we present the cross sections for the two-body $K^-pto K^+Xi(1690)^-$ reaction near the threshold. We also demonstrate that the Dalitz plot analysis for $p_{K^-}=1.915 sim2.065$ GeV/c makes us to explore direct information for $Xi(1690)^-$ production, which can be done by future $K^-$ beam experiments.
