  With the aim of achieving a better and more complete understanding of
neutrino interactions with nuclear targets, the coherent production of charged
kaons induced by neutrinos and antineutrinos is investigated in the energy
range of some of the current neutrino experiments. We follow a microscopic
approach which, at the nucleon level, incorporates the most important
mechanisms allowed by the chiral symmetry breaking pattern of QCD. The
distortion of the outgoing (anti)kaon is taken into account by solving the
Klein-Gordon equation with realistic optical potentials. Angular and momentum
distributions are studied, as well as the energy and nuclear dependence of the
total cross section.
