Abstract

The DAΦNE electron–positron collider at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of INFN has made available a unique quality low-energy negative kaons “beam”, which is being used to unlock the secrets of the kaon–nucleon/nuclei interactions at low energies by the SIDDHARTA(-2) and the AMADEUS experiments. SIDDHARTA has already performed unprecedented precision measurements of kaonic atoms, and is being presently upgraded, as SIDDHARTA-2, to approach new frontiers. The AMADEUS experiment already started a data taking with a dedicated carbon target, plans to perform in the coming years precision measurements on kaon–nuclei interactions at low-energies, in particular to study the possible formation of kaonic nuclei and the Λ(1405). The two experiments are briefly presented in this paper.
