Weak decay ofΛc+for the study ofΛ(1405)andΛ(1670)

The Weak Decay of Hypernuclei

The nonmesonic weak decay of Λ hypernuclei is studied in a shell model framework. A complete strangeness-changing weak ΛN → NN transition potential, based on one boson exchange, is constructed by including the exchange of the pseudoscalar mesons π, K, η as well as the vector mesons ρ, ω, and K, whose weak coupling constants are obtained from soft meson theorems and SU(6)w. General expressions f...

Weak decay of hypernuclei

The nonmesonic weak decay of L hypernuclei is studied in a shell model framework. A complete strangeness-changing weak LN→NN transition potential, based on one boson exchange, is constructed by including the exchange of the pseudoscalar mesons p , K , h as well as the vector mesons r ,v , and K*, whose weak-coupling constants are obtained from soft meson theorems and SU~6!w .

Weak decay of hypernuclei

The focus of these lectures is on the weak decay modes of hypernuclei, with special attention to Λ–hypernuclei. The subject involves many fields of modern theoretical and experimental physics, from nuclear structure to the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions. The peculiar behaviour of matter containing strange quarks has raised in recent years many interesting problems, on...
