The approach accounts for the initial proton and final Λ hyperon absorption, final K~＋ meson distortion in nuclei, target nucleon binding, and Fermi motion, as well as nuclear mean-field potential effects on these processes.We calculate the Λ momentum dependence of the absolute ΛK~＋ yield from the target nuclei considered, in the kinematical conditions of the ANKE experiment, performed at COSY, within the different scenarios for the Λ-nucleus effective scalar potential. We show that the above observable is appreciably sensitive to this potential in the low-momentum region. Therefore, direct comparison of the results of our calculations with the data from the ANKE-at-COSY experiment can help to determine the above potential at finite momenta. We also demonstrate that the two-step pion–nucleon production channels dominate in the low-momentum ΛK~＋ production in the chosen kinematics and, therefore, they have to be taken into account in the analysis of these data.展开更多
