High-density kaonic-proton matter (KPM) composed of Λ⁎≡K−p multiplets and its astrophysical connections

We propose and examine a new form of high-density neutral composite of Λ⁎≡K−p=(su¯)⊗(uud), which may be called anti-Kaonic Proton Matter (KPM), or simply, Λ⁎-Matter, where substantial shrinkage of baryonic bound systems originating from the strong attraction of the (K¯N)I=0 interaction takes place,...
