ABSTRACT: The Sigma pi invariant-mass spectra in the resonant-capture of K- at rest in 4He, 3He and d are calculated by a coupled-channel procedure for a K−p quasi-bound state of arbitrary chosen mass and width. A Chi^2 analysis of old 4He bubble chamber data shows dominance of the s-orbit absorption and yielded M = 1405.5+1.4−1 MeV/c2 and Gamma = 26+4−3 MeV, where possible population of Sigma^0(1385) and also a small p-orbit capture contribution are taken into account. This result confirms the Lambda(1405) Ansatz. A more stringent test is proposed by using a D target.
