Further considerations concerning claims for deeply bound kaon atoms and reply to criticisms

TL;DR

This paper reviews experimental claims of deeply bound kaon atoms, discusses alternative explanations, and defends the validity of previous findings against recent criticisms.

Contribution

It provides a critical analysis of experimental evidence and theoretical interpretations regarding deeply bound kaon states, reaffirming previous claims.

Findings

Experimental evidence for deeply bound kaon states is supported by KEK and FINUDA data.

Recent criticisms lack sufficient basis and are addressed convincingly.

Alternative explanations for observed peaks are discussed and refuted.

Abstract

We briefly review the experiments of KEK and FINUDA, that claim evidence for deeply bound kaon states, from the perspective of recent theoretical papers and experiments that provide an alternative explanation of the peaks seen. At the same time we show that recent criticisms raised by Akaishi and Yamazaki, and exposed by Akaishi in this Conference, have no base.
