We investigate the two-body reactions K¯¯¯N→K¯¯¯N, K¯¯¯N→πΛ, and K¯¯¯N→πΣ via single-energy partial-wave analyses in the center-of-mass (c.m.) energy range 1480 to 2100 MeV. The partial-wave amplitudes for these reactions thus extracted were constrained by a multichannel energy-dependent model satisfying unitarity of the partial-wave Smatrix. We obtain excellent predictions of differential cross sections, polarizations, polarized cross sections, and cross sections for these reactions from a global energy-dependent solution.
