We report here the first observation of directed flow ($v_1$) of the hypernuclei $^3_{\Lambda}$H and $^4_{\Lambda}$H in mid-central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 3 GeV at RHIC. These data are taken as part of the beam energy…

The small binding energy of the hypertrition leads to predictions of non-existence of bound hypernuclei for isotriplet three-body systems such as $nn\Lambda$. However, invariant mass spectroscopy at GSI has reported events that may be…

We calculate the suppression in the rate at which two baryons in a nucleus (viz., nucleons or $\Lambda$'s) convert to an H dibaryon, using an Isgur-Karl wavefunction for quarks in the baryons and H, and a Bethe-Goldstone wavefunction for…

Ongoing progress in understanding and evaluating charge symmetry breaking in $\Lambda$ hypernuclei is discussed in connection to recent measurements of the $_{\Lambda}^{4}{\rm H}(0^+_{\rm g.s.})$ binding energy at MAMI [A1 Collaboration:…

The hypernucleus production reaction $\bar p + {}^AZ \to {}^A_\Lambda(Z-1) + \bar{\Lambda}$ in the beam momentum range 1.5-20 GeV/c is addressed theoretically as a coherent process. The calculations are based on a covariant $t$-channel…

We study the lifetimes of TeV-scale heavy neutral leptons (Majorana neutrinos) that appear in a model suggested by Okamura et al. [2]. We develop a convenient way to parametrize the neutrino mass texture of the model, and illustrate our…
