We study the effects of final state interactions in the non-mesonic weak decay $\Lambda N \rightarrow nN$ (n is a neutron and N is either a neutron or a proton) of the hypernucleus $_\Lambda^4$He. Using a three-body model the effects of…

We have measured the energy spectra of pions and protons emitted in the weak decay of 12_Lambda_C, 28_Lambda_Si, and Lambda_Fe hypernuclei produced via the (pi+, K+) reaction. The decay widths of the pi- mesonic decay (Lambda -> p + pi-)…

A fully relativistic finite nucleus wave-function approach to the non-mesonic weak decay of the ${_\Lambda^{12} C}$ hypernucleus is presented. The model is based on the calculation of the amplitudes of the tree-level Feynman diagrams for…

An extended version of the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics to study structure of $p$-$sd$ shell hypernuclei is developed. By using an effective $\Lambda N$ interaction, we investigate energy curves of $^9_\Lambda$Be, $^{13}_\Lambda$C and…

The J=1/2 iso-doublet double-$\Lambda$-hypernuclei, namely, ${}_{\Lambda\Lambda}^{5}$H and ${}_{\Lambda\Lambda}^{5}$He, are examined as the three-body cluster states, $\Lambda\Lambda t$ ($t\equiv {}^3$H or triton) and $\Lambda\Lambda h$…

Nonmesonic decays of $\Lambda$ in nuclear medium and light hypernuclei are studied by using the $\Lambda N \to NN$ weak transition potential derived from the meson exchange mechanism and the direct quark mechanism. The long range part of…

In this work, we apply the effective Lagrangian approach to investigate the two-body strong decay behaviors of the possible $\Lambda_c K^*$ and $\Sigma_c K^{(*)}$ molecules, as predicted in our previous study…

We have made a new evaluation of the Lambda decay width in nuclear matter within the Propagator Method. Through the Local Density Approximation it is possible to obtain results in finite nuclei. We have also studied the dependence of the…

We provide a unified approach for the two-body hadronic weak decays of hyperons with $S=-1$, i.e. $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma^\pm$, in the framework of the non-relativistic constitute quark model (NRCQM). A combined analysis shows that the…

We re-examine the puzzling $\pi^+$ emission from the weak decay of $^4_\Lambda$He and propose an explanation in terms of a three-body decay of the virtual $\Sigma^+$. Such a resolution of the $\pi^+$ decay puzzle is consistent with the…

Search for the neutron-rich hypernucleus 9LHe is reported by the FINUDA experiment at DAFNE, INFN-LNF, studying (pi+, pi-) pairs in coincidence from the K-stop + 9Be --> 9LHe + pi+ production reaction followed by 9LHe --> 9Li + pi- weak…

The strong decays of the two resonances $\eta(2225)$ and $\phi(2170)$ are discussed for selected decay channels. The two resonances are considered as the $\Lambda \bar{\Lambda}$ bound states in the molecular scenario. The phenomenological…

We fit the $^1 S_0 \Lambda\Lambda$ interaction in the nuclear medium to the masses of the experimentally known double-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei: $^{\phantom{6}6}_{\Lambda\Lambda}$He, $^{10}_{\Lambda\Lambda}$Be and $^{13}_{\Lambda\Lambda}$B. We…

We study the productions of $\Lambda$-hypernuclei $^3_{\Lambda}$H, $^4_{\Lambda}$H and $^4_{\Lambda}$He in the coalescence mechanism in Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=3$ GeV. Considering the abundance and great importance of baryons and…

A few aspects of the $\Lambda$ mesonic and non-mesonic decay in nuclei are shortly addressed.

The ratio N_{nn}/N_{np} between the number of neutron-neutron and neutron--proton pairs emitted in the non--mesonic weak decay of \Lambda-hypernuclei is calculated within a nuclear matter formalism extended to ^{12}_{Lambda}C via the local…

Hypernuclei are bound states of hyperons (Y) and nucleons (N). Measurements on their yields can help us investigate their production mechanisms. In particular, the ${}^5_{\Lambda}$He and $^{4}_{\Lambda}$H(e) are substantially tighter bound…

We systematically study two-body nonleptonic decays of light lambda hyperon $\Lambda \to p \pi^- (n\pi^0)$ with account for both short- and long-distance effects. The short-distance effects are induced by five topologies of external and…

The lifetime of a Lambda particle embedded in a nucleus (hypernucleus) decreases from that of free Lambda decay due to the opening of the Lambda N to NN weak decay channel. However, it is generally believed that the lifetime of a…
