Abstract: The Kaon condensation in neutron star matter is calculated in the framework of the density dependent relativistic mean-field theory. The present results show that the critical density for the Kaon condensation is ~2.75ρ0, while the critical densities for the URCA process in neutron star matter are ρρ0≈3.16 for the parameter set fitted to the DB nucleon self-energies of nuclear mater with the momentum-dependent correction, and ρρ0≈2.25 for the parameter set without the momentum-dependent correction. Then,influences of the two different model parameter sets on the equation of state of neutron star matter are discussed.
