The $\Lambda \Lambda \to YN$ Weak Transition in Double-$\Lambda$ Hypernuclei

Nuclear Theory 2010-04-05 v1

Abstract

We calculate the ΛΛYN\Lambda \Lambda \to YN transition rate of ΛΛΛ6{^{\phantom{\Lambda}6}_{\Lambda \Lambda}}He by the hybrid picture, the π\pi and KK exchanges plus the direct quark processes. It is found that the hyperon-induced decay is weaker than the nucleon-induced decay, but the former may reveal the short-range mechanism of the weak transition and also give a clear signal of the strong ΔI=3/2\Delta I=3/2 transition. The ΛΛYN\Lambda \Lambda \to Y N transition in double-Λ\Lambda hypernucleus is complement to the ΛNNN\Lambda N \to NN transition as it occurs only in the J=0 channel, while the J=1 transition is dominant in the ΛNNN\Lambda N \to NN case.
