Future directions in kaonic atom physics

Abstract

Recent progress and open problems in kaonic atom physics are presented. A connection between phenomenological deep potentials and the underlying $K^{-}N$ interaction is established as well as the need for a theory for multinucleon absorption of kaons. $K^{-}$ absorption at rest to specific $\Lambda$ hypernuclei states is briefly discussed.
