The strangeness-changing ($\Delta S = 1$) weak baryon-baryon interaction is studied through the nonmesonic weak decay of double-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei. Besides the usual nucleon-induced decay $\Lambda N \to N N$ we discuss novel…
This paper summarizes our studies of the hypertriton and describes our findings on the hyperon-nucleon interaction, especially on the role of the $\Lambda N-\Sigma N$ coupling and the strengths of the $S$-wave $YN$ interactions. We briefly…
Arguments in favor of a light $\Xi NN$ hypernucleus with $(I)J^P=(3/2)1/2^+$ are presented, within the uncertainties of our knowledge of the baryon-baryon strangeness $-2$ interactions. If bound, this $\Xi NN$ state, being decoupled from…

We consider 3 types of processes pertinent to the phenomenology of an H di-baryon: conversion of two $\Lambda$'s in a doubly-strange hypernucleus to an H, decay of the H to two baryons, and -- if the H is light enough -- conversion of two…
