Description
A brief summary of state-of-the-art analyses of kaonic atom data will
be presented, showing good consistency between the various experiments
of 30-40 years ago. Correlations between depths of real antikaon-nucleus
potentials and the corresponding radii provide a link between
phenomenology and 'microscopic' antikaon-nucleon interaction in the
nuclear medium. Further studies of the latter hold promise to enhance
our understanding of two- and many-nucleon absorption processes. Time
is ripe also for additional studies of possible p-wave contributions to
kaonic atoms. The merit of new experiments will also be discussed.
