Abstract:

An SU(2)-invariant hadronic sector of the Kaplan-Nelson model is analyzed to find an energetically improved variational ground state of neutral nucleonic matter which consists of nucleons and kaons. Our state yields a vanishing expectation value of the K- field and a finite three-body correlation <npK->. The variational problem of finding the ground state is solved almost analytically. It is shown that the solution consisting of equal numbers of neutrons, protons and K- together with K0(or \barK0) in excess suppresses the kinetic term of the kaon and results in a remarkable improvement of the variational energy.
