Evidence for the neutron-rich hypernucleus 6{\Lambda}H is presented from the FINUDA experiment at DA{\Phi}NE, Frascati, studying ({\pi}+, {\pi}-) pairs in coincidence from the K- +6Li \rightarrow 6 H+{\pi}+ production reaction followed by…

The HyperCP (E871) experiment collected several billion hyperon decays in the 1997 and 1999 Fermilab fixed-target running periods. Using the data from the 1999 run, we report on the observation of three isolated events with reconstructed…

We present the first observation of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $\Lambda_c^+ \rightarrow \Lambda K^+\pi^0$ with a significance of $5.7\sigma$ and the first evidence of $\Lambda_c^+ \rightarrow \Lambda K^+\pi^+\pi^-$ decay with a…

The $\varLambda^0_b \to \varLambda^+_c K^+ K^- \pi^-$ decay is observed for the first time using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}=7$ and 8 $\rm{TeV}$ collected by the $\mbox{LHCb}$ detector,…

The structure of the T=1 iso-triplet hypernuclei, $^7_{\Lambda}$He, $^7_{\Lambda}$Li and $^7_{\Lambda}$Be within the framework of an $\alpha +\Lambda +N+N$ four-body cluster model is studied. Interactions between the constituent subunits…

Conflicting values of the hypertriton ($_{\Lambda}^{3}$H) lifetime were extracted in recent relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments. The ALICE Collaboration's reported $_{\Lambda}^{3}$H lifetime $\tau(_{\Lambda}^{3}$H) is compatible…

It is shown that the new data on the excitation energy Eex spectrum of the residual nuclear system in the Sigma-hypernuclear region in the reactions (K-,pi+-) on Be-9 and in the reaction (K-,pi+) on He-4 and C-12 can be described without…

The HyperCP experiment reported the observation of three events for the $\Sigma^+ \rightarrow p \mu^+\mu^-$ decay. The dimuon masses of the observed events are clustered within the detector resolution of 1 MeV/$c^2$. These decays might be…

We report on a study of the sequential hyperon decay $\Sigma^0\rightarrow\Lambda \gamma;\Lambda\rightarrow p\pi^- $ and its corresponding anti-hyperon decay. We derive a multi-dimentional and model-independent formalism for the case when…

Rare Lambda_b -> Lambda l^+ l^- decay is investigated in framework of general two Higgs doublet model, in which a new source of CP violation exists (model III). The polarization parameter, CP asymmetry and decay width are calculated. It is…

We calculate the decay width of the $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to\Sigma^{+}\gamma$ using light-cone sum rules. For the initial quark radiation an effective Hamiltonian is constructed, where the internal quark line shrinks to a point. The final quark…

Because of Pauli suppression effects the $N\pi$ decay of the free $\Lambda$ is not of importance in hypernuclei with $A\geq 10$. Rather the decay of such hypernuclei proceeds via the nucleon-stimulated mode $\Lambda N\rightarrow NN$,…

A search is performed for the charmless three-body decays of the $\Lambda_b^0$ and $\Xi_b^0$ baryons to the final states $\Lambda h^+h^{\prime -}$, where $h^{(\prime)} = \pi$ or $K$. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to…

It has been shown experimentally that the $^6$Li nucleus shrinks by adding a $\Lambda$ particle while its spectrum is also compressed. We discuss the compatibility of these two effects, contrasting also with a relation between the shrinkage…

A new evaluation of the charged Higgs boson decay $H^+ -> W^+\gamma$ is presented in the context of the general two-Higgs doublet model. A nonlinear $R_\xi$-gauge which considerably simplifies the calculation is introduced and simple…

We study the production of $^3_\Lambda$H and $^4_\Lambda$H in the $^{3,4}$He($K^-$,$\pi^0$) reactions at $p_{K^-}=1.0$~GeV/$c$ within the distorted-wave impulse approximation, using the optimal Fermi-averaged $K^-p\to\pi^0\Lambda$…

We study the decays $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to\Lambda\eta\pi^{+}$ and $\Sigma(1385)^{+}\eta$ based on $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-}$ pairs produced in $e^+e^-$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=4.6~\mbox{GeV}$,…

The low lying states in $^8$Be are believed to have a two-alpha cluster structure and hence a large intrinsic quadrupole deformation. An earlier calculation showed a large collective enhancement in gamma transition probability between the…

We consider the possibility that the $\tau$ decay puzzle, if it is confirmed in future experiments, is a consequence of the Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing in the leptonic sector
