Abstract

The FINUDA experiment collected data to study the production of hypernuclei on different nuclear targets. The hypernucleus formation occurred through the strangeness-exchange reaction Kstop+  AZ  ΛAZ+πK^-_{stop} + \; ^AZ \rightarrow \; ^A_{\Lambda}Z + \pi^-. From the analysis of the momentum of the emerging π\pi^-, binding energies and formation probabilities of Λ7^7_{\Lambda}Li, Λ9^9_{\Lambda}Be, Λ13^{13}_{\Lambda}C and Λ16^{16}_{\Lambda}O have been measured and are here presented. The behavior of the formation probability as a function of the atomic mass number A is also discussed.
