In the present contribution, we report on calculation of the Λ-hypernuclear production induced by the stopped kaon K-. We performed the calculation within the framework of the distorted wave impulse approximation and used chirally motivated transition amplitudes for the microscopic description of the elementary kaon-nucleon process. The sensitivity of the model to several effects was tested with a special attention paid to the impact caused by variations of the initial kaon and final state pion wave functions. The calculated production rates are reported for target nuclei from Lithium to Oxygen.
