Abstract
The AMADEUS experiment will perform for the first time full-acceptance studies of hadronic interactions of K − in light nuclei, with a complete experimental program for the case of the deeply bound kaonic nuclear states. The possible formation of a kaonic cluster could provide information concerning the modification of the kaon mass and of the \(\overline{K}N \) interaction in the nuclear medium. In order to confirm or deny the existence of such exotic objects, the detection of all particles in the formation and decay processes will be performed, taking, moreover, advantage of the high luminosity reached by the recently upgraded DAΦNE accelerator. A preliminar study of this kind of hadronic interaction is being done by the AMADEUS collaboration by analyzing the KLOE data.
