dc.descriptionThe s-wave meson-nucleon interaction in the S=-1 sector is studied by means of a coupled-channel Lippmann Schwinger equation, using the lowest order chiral Lagrangian and a cut off to regularize the loop integrals. The position and width of the Lambda(1405) resonance and the K^- p scattering cross sections at low energies are well reproduced. The inclusion of the eta Lambda, eta Sigma^0 channels in the coupled system is found very important and allows a solution in terms of only the lowest order Lagrangian. The model is applied to calculate the in-medium K^- self-energy to which we add a small p-wave piece resulting from the coupling to hyperon particle-nucleon hole excitations. The K^- feels an attraction of about -100 MeV at normal nuclear density. The Lambda(1405) resonance shifts to energies above the $K^-p$ threshold and ends up dissolving as density increases. It remains to be seen how these effects persist when the dressing of the Kbar and the pi mesons is incorporated self-consistently in the calculation.
