Nuclear bound states of negatively charged hadrons?

The possibility that bound states of negatively charged kaons, antiprotons and Σ-hyperons might exist in nuclei is investigated. It is found that whilst such states could be bound their widths are sufficiently large as to probably prevent direct observation, except perhaps in a few specialised cases...
