The $K^{-}$ induced production of $Lambda(1405)$ in the $K^{-} d to pi Sigma n$ reaction is investigated having in mind the conditions of the DAFNE facility at Frascati. We find that the fastest kaons from the decay of the $phi$ at DAFNE are well sui
ted to see this resonance if one selects forward going neutrons in the center of mass, which reduce the contribution of single scattering and stress the contribution of the double scattering where the signal of the resonance appears clearer. We take advantage to report briefly on a recent work in which in addition to the $bar{K}NN$ system with total spin S=0, we find a less bound state (although with equally large width) with S=1, like in the $K^{-} d$ reported in the first part.
We examine possibilities of pion condensation with zero momentum (s-wave condensation) in neutron stars by using the pion-nucleus optical potential U and the relativistic mean field (RMF) models. We use low-density phenomenological optical potentials
parameterized to fit deeply bound pionic atoms or pion-nucleus elastic scatterings. Proton fraction (Y_p) and electron chemical potential (mu_e) in neutron star matter are evaluated in RMF models. We find that the s-wave pion condensation hardly takes place in neutron stars and especially has no chance if hyperons appear in neutron star matter and/or b_1 parameter in U has density dependence.
The K^- induced production of Lambda(1405) is investigated in K^- d to pi Sigma n reactions based on coupled-channels chiral dynamics, in order to discuss the resonance position of the Lambda(1405) in the KbarN channel. We find that the K^-d to Lambd
a(1405)n process favors the production of Lambda(1405) initiated by the KbarN channel. The present approach indicates that the Lambda(1405) resonance position is 1420 MeV rather than 1405 MeV in the pi Sigma invariant mass spectra of K- d to pi Sigma n reactions. This is consistent with an observed spectrum of the K^- d to pi^+ Sigma^- n with 686-844 MeV/c incident K^- by bubble chamber experiments done in the 70s. Our model also reproduces the measured Lambda(1405) production cross section.
The electromagnetic mean squared radii, <r^2>_E and <r^2>_M, of Lambda(1405) are calculated in the chiral unitary model. We describe the excited baryons as dynamically generated resonances in the octet meson and octet baryon scattering. We evaluate v
alues of <r^2>_E and <r^2>_M for the Lambda(1405) on the resonance pole and obtain their complex values. We also consider Lambda(1405) obtained by neglecting decay channels. For the latter case, we obtain negative and larger absolute electric mean squared radius than that of typical ground state baryons. This implies that Lambda(1405) has structure that K^- is widely spread around p.
The electric mean squared radii <r^2>_E of Lambda(1405) are calculated in the chiral unitary model. We describe the Lambda(1405) as a dynamically generated resonance fully in the octet meson and octet baryon scattering. We also consider ``Lambda(1405
) as a bound state of KbarN. For the later ``Lambda(1405), we obtain negative and larger absolute value of electric mean squared radius than that of ordinary baryons, which implies that Lambda(1405) have structure of widely spread K^- around p.
