The AMADEUS collaboration aims to provide unique quality results from K-hadronic interactions in light nuclear targets, in order to solve fundamental open questions in the non-perturbative strangeness QCD sector, like the controversial nature of the ⋀(1405) state, the yield of hyperon formation below threshold, the yield and shape of multi-nucleon K-absorption, processes which are intimately connected to the possible existence of exotic antikaon multi-nucleon clusters and to the role of strangeness in neutron stars. AMADEUS takes advantage of the DAΦNE collider, which provides a unique source of monochromatic low-momentum kaons and exploits the KLOE detector as an active target, in order to obtain excellent acceptance and resolution data for K-nuclear capture on H, 4He, 9Be and 12C, both at-rest and in-flight.
