Decay of Hypernuclei
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a nonrelativistic transition potential for the weak strangeness-changing reaction ΛN → NN . The potential is based on a one meson exchange model (OME), where, in addition to the long-ranged pion, the exchange of the pseudoscalar K, η, as well as the vector ρ, ω,K mesons is considered. Results obtained for different hypernuclear decay observables are compared to the available experimental data.

Chiral Symmetry and Weak Decay of Hypernuclei
The weak decays of hyperons and hypernuclei are studied from the chiral symmetry viewpoint. The soft pion relations are useful in understanding the isospin properties of the weak hyperon decays. Recent development on the short-range part of the ΛN → NN weak transitions shows fairly good account of the weak decays of hypernuclei, though it fails to explain the n/p ratio. The π decays of light hy...
متن کاملWeak non-mesonic decay of Hypernuclei
We review the mechanism of weak decay of hypernuclei, with emphasis on the non-mesonic decay channels. Various theoretical approaches are discussed and the results are compared with the available experimental data. PACS: 21.80.+a; 13.75.Ev; 25.40.-h
متن کاملTHE LIFETIME OF THE Λ - HYPERON BOUND IN HYPERNUCLEI PRODUCED BY p+U COLLISIONS
The nonmesonic decay of the Λ–hyperon has been investigated by observation of delayed fission from heavy hypernuclei produced in proton – U collisions at Tp=1.9 GeV. The lifetime of heavy hypernuclei with masses A≈220 obtained in the present work, i.e. τΛ = [138± 6(stat.)± 17(syst.)] ps, is the most accurate result for heavy hypernuclei produced in proton and antiproton induced collisions on a ...
متن کاملRole of deformation in the nonmesonic decay of light hypernuclei
We discuss the nonmesonic decay of deformed p-shell hypernuclei. The Nilsson model with angular momentum projection is employed in order to take into account the deformation effects. The nonmesonic decay rate decreases as a function of the deformation parameter, while the ratio of the neutronto proton-induced decay rates and the intrinsic Λ asymmetry parameter increase. We find that the deforma...
متن کاملNonmesonic Weak Decay of Λ Hypernuclei within a Nuclear Matter Formalism
The nonmesonic weak decay of Λ hypernuclei using nonrelativistic nuclear matter is studied. As the basic building block we use the Polarization Propagator Method developed by Oset and Salcedo. It is shown that the exact calculation of exchange terms is required. Using the Local Density Approximation we evaluate the nonmesonic decay width for 12 Λ C and compare the result with a finite nucleus c...
متن کاملWeak 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...
