We have simultaneously measured the energy spectra of neutrons and protons emitted in the non-mesonic weak decays of 5_Lambda-He and 12_Lambda-C hypernuclei produced via the (pi^+,k^+) reaction with much higher statistics over those of…

We study the four-body baryonic $B\to {\bf B_1 \bar B_2}M_1 M_2$ decays with $\bf B_{1,2}$ ($M_{1,2}$) being charmless baryons (mesons). In accordance with the recent LHCb observations, each decay is considered to proceed through the $B\to…

Nonmesonic weak decays of the A=4, and 5 hypernuclei are studied. The short range parts of the hyperon-nucleon weak interactions are described by the direct quark (DQ) weak transition potential, while the longer range interactions are given…

A new approach to the analysis of three body decays is presented. Model-independent results are obtained for the \swave $K\pi$ amplitude as a function of $K\pi$ invariant mass. These are compared with results from $\Km\pip$ elastic…

The first evidence for the decay $B^+\to\pi^+ e^+ e^-$ is reported using proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$. A…

The decay properties of the linear-chain states in $^{14}$C are investigated by using the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. The calculation predicts two rotational bands with linear-chain configurations having the $\pi$-bond and…

The rare k+--->pi+ \nu \bar{\nu} decay is investigated in the context of type II two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). By using the existing experimental data of the branching ratio, restrictions on the free parameters of the model m_H, and…

The simultaneous emission of two $\alpha$ particles--double-$\alpha$ decay--represents a long-predicted but unobserved mode of nuclear radioactivity. Here we formulate this process as a genuine three-body problem within the hyperspherical…

It is shown that the true parameters of He-4-Sigma differ from the observed ones. The reason is that the amplitude of He-4-Sigma production in the reaction He-4(K-,pi-) sharply varies just in the corresponding mass region. It leads to the…

The strong short-range repulsion, characteristic to realistic interatomic potentials, complicates the description of weakly-bound few-body systems such as those of \He atoms. The present work proposes an approach for solving this problem…

The LHCb Collaboration announced the observation of doubly charmed baryon through $\Xi_{c c}^{++} \rightarrow \Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-} \pi^{+} \pi^{+}$ in 2017. Since then, a series of studies of doubly heavy baryons have been presented.…

$\Sigma^-$ hyperon component of the $^{10}_\Lambda$Li wave function is studied. The $\Sigma^-$ admixture is vital for production of neutron-rich $\Lambda$ hypernuclei via mesonic beams. We use a simplified shell model wave function for the…

The newly-discovered $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ decays into the $ \Lambda_{c}^+ K^-\pi^+\pi^+$, but the experimental data has indicated that this decay is not saturated by any two-body intermediate state. In this work, we analyze the multi-body weak…

There is a puzzle in the $\Lambda_c^+$ family, i.e., one member with $J^P=3/2^+$ is missing in a $L=2$ multiplet which the heavy quark effective theory predicts, and $J^P$'s of $\Lambda_c(2765)^+$ and $\Lambda_c(2940)^+$ are unknown. Using…

Coherent Lambda-Sigma coupling effect in Lambda_He^7 is analyzed within three-body framework of two coupled channels, Lambda-t-t and Sigma-tau-t, where tau represents trinucleon which is either H^3 or He^3. The hyperon-trinucleon (Y tau)…

Recently the D$^+$ charm meson was observed to have a clear branching ratio into the low energy $\pi-\pi$ sigma resonance, while this channel was not detected in the D$_s^+$ decay. It is shown that this is consistent with the standard…

A search for the rare decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \mu^+ \mu^-$ is performed using $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s} = 7$ and $8$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3 fb^{-1}$.…

The scattering lengths of the pi Sigma systems are key quantities in understanding the structure of the Lambda(1405) resonance and the subthreshold extrapolation of the barK N interaction. We demonstrate that the pi Sigma scattering lengths…

The decay of $\Lambda_c^+$ into $\pi^+\pi^0\Lambda(1405)$ with the $\Lambda(1405)$ decay into $\pi^0\Sigma^0$ through a triangle diagram is studied. This process is initiated by $ \Lambda_c^+ \to \pi^+ \bar{K}^*N $, then the $\bar{K}^*$…

In this review we discuss the present status of strange nuclear physics, with special attention to the weak decay of Lambda hypernuclei. The models proposed for the evaluation of the Lambda decay widths are summarized and their results are…
