Abstract
Simultaneous measurements of the K-p→ς0π0 and K-p→Λπ0 cross sections below 100 MeV/c kaon momentum have been performed. The kaon beam delivered by the DAφNE collider was exploited to detect K- absorptions on hydrogen atoms populating the gas mixture of the KLOE drift chamber. The cross sections are determined with the highest yet obtained precision in the low kaon momentum regime [σK-p→ς0π0=42.8±1.5(stat)-2.0+2.4(syst)mb and σK-p→Λπ0=31.0±0.5(stat)-1.2+1.2(syst)mb] impacting on pending questions in several fields, ranging from nuclear and particle physics, to astrophysics.
