Abstract

Both the light hypernucleus ΛH4{}_\Lambda {\rm H}^4 and the nucleus He4{\rm He}^4 have spin 0. The ratio RR of the electron to muon rates for the pure Fermi transitions \begin{equation} R=\frac{\Gamma\left({}_\Lambda {\rm H}^4\rightarrow {\rm e}^- + \bar \nu +{\rm He}^4\right)} {\Gamma\left({}_\Lambda {\rm H}^4\rightarrow {\mu}^- + \bar \nu +{\rm He}^4\right)} \end{equation} is a sensitive measure of the presence of a {\em second-class} weak current (to the extent that SU(3) is valid in strong interactions), and hence, is a test of the Standard Model. Rates and sensitivities, using DaΦ\Phine, the e+ee^+e^- machine under construction at Frascati, are discussed.
