The hadrodynamics of the instantaneous weak interactions (IWI) in Standard Model is considered supposing the resonance nature of the chiral hadronization of quark currents in QCD. Exploiting this supposition and QCD symmetries the IWI…
The non--mesonic weak decay of double--$\Lambda$ hypernuclei is studied within a microscopic diagrammatic approach. Besides the nucleon--induced mechanism, $\Lambda N\to nN$, widely studied in single--$\Lambda$ hypernuclei, additional…
The low-lying continuum spectrum of the $^6{\rm He}$ nucleus is investigated for the first time within an ab initio framework that encompasses the $^4{\rm He}$+$n$+$n$ three-cluster dynamics characterizing its lowest decay channel. This is…
In these lectures I make an introduction to chiral unitary theory applied to the meson baryon interaction and show how several well known resonances are dynamically generated, and others are predicted. Two very recent experiments are…
The polarization properties of the charmed Lambda^+_c baryon are investigated in weak non-leptonic four-body Lambda^+_c -> p + K^- + pi^+ + pi^0 decay. The probability of this decay and the angular distribution of the probability are…
The hadronization structure of $\tau^- \to \eta \pi^- \pi^0 \nu_\tau$ decays is analyzed using Chiral Perturbation Theory with resonances, considering only the contribution of the lightest meson resonances at leading order in the $1/N_C$…
Chiral symmetry serves as a guiding principle in low-energy hadron dynamics. An effective lagrangian, which explicitly breaks chiral symmetry via a small mass term, allows for a systematic method of calculating higher order corrections to…
Using the data sample of 980 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we present the results of an investigation of the $\Lambda\pi^+$ and $\Lambda\pi^-$ invariant mass…
A chiral quark-model approach is extended to the study of the $\bar{K}N$ scattering at low energies. The process of $K^-p\to \Sigma^0\pi^0$ at $P_K\lesssim 800$ MeV/c (i.e. the center mass energy $W\lesssim 1.7$ GeV) is investigated. This…
A nonperturbative field theoretic calculation has been made for the $s$-shell hypernuclei. Here we dress the $\Lambda$- and $\Sigma$- hypernuclei with off-mass shell pion pairs. The analysis replaces the scalar isoscalar potential by…
In this paper, we present the full Lagrangian of mesons (pseudoscalars, vectors and axial-vectors) to $O(p^4)$ by using the explicit global chiral symmetry and hidden local symmetry in the chiral limit. In this approach, we see that there…
We derive the mass correction lagrangian of the heavy meson effective theory by using the projection operator method. The next leading order of the mass correction and the first order of the chiral expansion are given explicitely.We also…
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 s-wave meson-nucleon interaction in the $S = -1$ sector is studied by means of coupled-channel Lippmann Schwinger equations, using the lowest order chiral Lagrangian and a cut off to regularize the loop integrals. The method reproduces…
We utilize the experimentally known difference of the $\Lambda$ separation energies of the mirror hypernuclei ${^4_\Lambda \rm He}$ and ${^4_\Lambda \rm H}$ to constrain the $\Lambda$-neutron interaction. We include the leading…
The decay modes $\rho^0 \to 2\pi^+ 2\pi^-$ and $\rho^0 \to 2\pi^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ are considered in the framework of the low energy effective chiral Lagrangian. The obtained values of the decay widths $\Gamma(\rho^0\to 2 \pi^+ 2 \pi^-)=$ $(16…
A previously derived relativistic energy density functional for nuclei, based on low-energy in-medium chiral dynamics, is generalized to implement constraints from chiral SU(3) effective field theory and applied to $\Lambda$ hypernuclei.…
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…
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…
