We present an effective field theory (EFT) at leading order to describe light single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei. Owing to the weak $\Lambda$ binding and to the $\Lambda N$ short interaction range, meson exchange forces are approximated by…
The lifetime of the Lambda hyperon in heavy hypernuclei as measured by the COSY-13 Collaboration in proton - Au, Bi and U collisions has been analysed to yield tau(Lambda) = (145 +- 11) ps. This value for tau(Lambda) is compatible with the…

Hypernuclei are bound states of neutrons, protons and one or two hyperons, thus extending the nuclear landscape to a third dimension. They also encode information about the baryon-baryon and three-baryon interactions. Here, we review recent…
