The main open problem in the physics of Lambda-hypernuclei is the lack of a sound theoretical interpretation of the large experimental values for the ratio G_n/G_p. To approach the problem, we have incorporated a Lambda N-> nN…
The weak nonmesonic decay of Lambda-hypernuclei is studied in the context of a one-meson-exchange model. Predictions are made for the decay rate, p/n stimulation ratio and the asymmetry in polarized hypernuclear decay.
We derive general explicit expressions for a shell-model calculation of the intrinsic asymmetry parameter, $a_\Lambda$, in nonmesonic weak hypernuclear decay. They include the effects of three-body kinematics in the final states of the…
We study to what extent the unique observation of $\Lambda\Lambda$ hypernuclei by their weak decay into known $\Lambda$ hypernuclei, with lifetimes of order 10$^{-10}$ s, rules out the existence of a deeply bound doubly-strange (${\cal…
We describe full-coupled-channel ab initio calculations among the octet baryons for S=-2 s-shell hypernuclei,_{LambdaLambda}^4H,_{LambdaLambda}^5H and_{LambdaLambda}^6He. The wave function includes Lambda Lambda, Lambda Sigma, N Xi, and…
We calculate the $\Lambda \Lambda \to YN$ transition rate of ${^{\phantom{\Lambda}6}_{\Lambda \Lambda}}$He by the hybrid picture, the $\pi$ and $K$ exchanges plus the direct quark processes. It is found that the hyperon-induced decay is…
Some of last year's progress made in hypernuclear physics is reviewed as follows: (i) resolving the $_{\Lambda}^5$He overbinding problem in single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei [1]; (ii) arguing that the onset of binding double-$\Lambda$…
A direct experimental evidence of the occurrence of the weak reaction $\Lambda np\rightarrow nnp$ in nuclei has been obtained by the FINUDA experiment. Three events have been found that can be attributed to $^{7}_{\Lambda}$Li and…
The non-mesonic weak decay of $\Lambda$-hypernuclei is studied within a microscopic diagrammatic approach which includes, for the first time, the effect or the $\Delta$-baryon resonance. We adopt a nuclear matter formalism extended to…
We present an evaluation of the non-mesonic decay widths for Lambda-hypernuclei (Lambda N --> NN, Lambda NN --> NNN) within the framework of the polarization propagator method. The full Lambda self-energy is evaluated microscopically in…
Deformed multi-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei are studied within a relativistic mean-field model. In this paper, we take some $N=Z$ "hyper isotope" chains, i.e., $^{8+n}_{\ \ n\Lambda}{\rm Be}$, $^{20+n}_{\ \ \ n\Lambda}{\rm Ne}$, and $^{28+n}_{\ \…
The beta-delayed charged particle emission from ^11Li has been studied with emphasis on the three-body n+alpha+^6He and five-body 2alpha+3n channels from the 10.59 and 18.15 MeV states in ^11Be. Monte Carlo simulations using an R-matrix…

The nonmesonic weak decay of $\Lambda$ hypernuclei is studied using nuclear matter. We have developed a formalism which gives a microscopic interpretation of the process of emission of particles originated in this decay. More specifically,…
Non-mesonic decay of kaonic nuclei is investigated under a Lambda(1405) doorway picture where the Kbar absorptions in nuclei take place through the Lambda(1405) resonance. Calculating Lambda(1405) N to YN transitions in one-meson exchange,…
The pi-mesonic decay of the hypertriton is calculated based on a hypertriton wavefunction and 3N scattering states, which are rigorous solutions of 3-body Faddeev equations using realistic NN and hyperon-nucleon interactions. The total…

Contributions of the direct quark mechanism are studied in the nonmesonic weak decays of light hypernuclei. The $\Lambda N \to NN$ transition is described by the one pion exchange mechanism and the direct quark mechanism, induced by the…
We study the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) $\Lambda N \to nN$ of the ${}^{12}_{\Lambda} C$ hypernucleus induced by the nucleon $N=n,p$ with transition rate $\Gamma_N$. The nuclear process is described by the interplay of two models; one…
