Abstract

The K- p p system is investigated using a variational approach with realistic two-body interactions: the Argonne v18 NN potential and an energy dependent over(K, ̄) N effective interaction derived from chiral SU(3) coupled-channel dynamics. Uncertainties in subthreshold extrapolations of the over(K, ̄) N interaction are considered. A weakly bound K- p p state is found, with a binding energy B = (19 ± 3)   MeV substantially smaller than suggested in previous calculations. The decay width Γ (K- p p → π Σ N) is estimated to range between about 40 and 70 MeV.
