Abstract
It is shown that, upon the stopping of a negatively charged kaon and its absorption by a nucleus, there arise particles whose appearance does not comply with thermodynamic evaporation theory. An identification of these particles by various methods makes it possible to evaluate the nearly identical yields of 3H and 3He nuclei. This result may serve as an indication that direct reactions induced by interaction with 4He are observed in K−-meson absorption in nuclei.
