We measured the lifetime and the mesonic and non-mesonic decay rates of the 4He-Lambda hypernucleus. The hypernuclei were created using a 750 MeV/c momentum K- beam on a liquid 4He target by the reaction 4He(K-,pi-)4He-Lambda. The…

We compute one- and two-nucleon kinetic-energy spectra and opening-angle distributions for the nonmesonic weak decay of several hypernuclei, and compare our results with some recent data. The decaymics is described by transition potentials…
Violations of the $\Delta$I=1/2 rule are investigated in the nonmesonic weak hypernuclear decay using a weak $\Lambda$N$\to$NN transition potential based on meson exchange. While the weak $\Delta$I=3/2 matrix elements of baryons with…

We compute for the first time the decay width of lambda-hypernuclei in a relativistic mean-field approximation to the Walecka model. Due to the small mass difference between the lambda-hyperon and its decay products---a nucleon and a…
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…
The weak $\Lambda N\to NN$ transition is studied in the valence quark model approach. The quark component of the two baryon system is described in the quark cluster model and the weak transition potential is calculated by evaluating the…

Hypernuclei are convenient laboratory to study the baryon-baryon weak interaction and associated effective Hamiltonian. The strangeness changing process, in which a Lambda hyperon converts to a neutron with a release up to 176 MeV, provides…
A depth of $D_{\Lambda}\approx -28$ MeV for the $\Lambda$-nucleus potential was confirmed in 1988 by studying $\Lambda$ binding energies deduced from $(\pi^+,K^+)$ spectra measured across the periodic table. Modern two-body hyperon-nucleon…
We review the mechanism of weak decay of hypernuclei, with emphasis on the non-mesonic decay channels. Various theoretical approaches are discussed and the results are compared with the available experimental data.
The in-medium feature of nuclear force which includes both nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) and hyperon-nucleon ($\Lambda N$) interactions impacts the description of single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei. With the alternated mass number or isospin of…
The heavy-ion fusion reactions induced by neutron-rich nuclei are investigated with the improved quantum molecular dynamics (ImQMD) model. With a subtle consideration of the neutron skin thickness of nuclei and the symmetry potential, the…
In this work we outline a program for lattice QCD that would provide a first step toward understanding the strong and weak interactions of strange baryons. The study of hypernuclear physics has provided a significant amount of information…
Two different approaches have been employed for the evaluation of the decay widths of Lambda-hypernuclei (ranging from $^5_{\Lambda}$He to $^{208}_{\Lambda}$Pb) with the polarization propagator method. In ref.[1], the two-nucleon stimulated…
Triggered by experimentally driven renewed interest in hyperon properties we address the subject of weak radiative hyperon decays (WRHD). We start with the issue of Hara's theorem and briefly discuss the question of its possible evasion.…
We take an approach to the $\Lambda$ nonmesonic weak decay in nuclei based on the exchange of mesons under the guidelines of chiral Lagrangians. The one pion and one kaon exchange are considered, together with the exchange of two pions,…
We explore the quasiparticle properties of a single $\Lambda$ hyperon propagating through symmetric nuclear matter using the Green's function formalism. The $N\Lambda$ interaction is described by a non-local regulated low-momentum contact…
Using the recent measurement of the $\Xi ^0 \to \Lambda \gamma $ asymmetry as an input, we reanalyse nonleptonic and weak radiative hyperon decays in a single symmetry-based framework. In this framework the old S:P problem of nonleptonic…
