Delayed clusters accompanying nonmesonic weak decay of the $\Lambda$-hypernuclei: a clue to nonleptonic processes

Nuclear Theory 2010-12-06 v1

Abstract

The nonmesonic decay of Λ\Lambda-hypernuclei provides access to the nonleptonic weak decay process ΛNNN\Lambda N \to NN, which is achievable only through the observation of hypernuclear ground-state decays. We continue the discussion of some specific cases which make it possible to detect a few exclusive transitions, namely, the stripping of nucleon from the ground state results in a resonance state decaying via emission of two clusters. Delayed clusters accompanying weak decay of light hypernuclei give a unique information on spin dependence of the weak decay matrix elements.
