Nonmesonic Weak Decay of Λ Hypernuclei within a Nuclear Matter Formalism
نویسنده
چکیده
The nonmesonic weak decay of Λ hypernuclei using nonrelativistic nuclear matter is studied. As the basic building block we use the Polarization Propagator Method developed by Oset and Salcedo. It is shown that the exact calculation of exchange terms is required. Using the Local Density Approximation we evaluate the nonmesonic decay width for 12 Λ C and compare the result with a finite nucleus calculation, obtaining a qualitative agreement. PACS number: 21.80.+a, 25.80.Pw.

A ug 2 00 8 Ground state normalization in the nonmesonic weak decay of 12 Λ C hypernucleus
The nonmesonic weak decay width of 12 Λ C hypernucleus has been evaluated within a nuclear matter formalism, using the local density approximation. In addition to the one-body induced decay (ΛN → nN), it has been also considered the two-body induced decay (ΛNN → nNN). This second decay is originated from ground state correlations, where a renormalization procedure to ensure a ground state norma...

Recent results on the nonmesonic weak decay of hypernuclei within a one-meson-exchange model. Abstract We update [1] the results presented in Ref. [2] for the nonmesonic decay (NMD) of 12 Λ C and 5 Λ He. We pay special attention to the role played by Final State Intreractions (FSI) on the decay observables. We follow a One-Meson-Exchange (OME) model which includes the exchange of the π, ρ, K, K...
متن کاملWeak Decay of Λ in Nuclei : Quarks vs Mesons
Decays of Λ in nuclei, nonmesonic mode, are studied by using the ΛN → NN weak transition potential derived from the meson exchange mechanism and the direct quark mechanism. The decay rates are calculated both for the Λ in symmetric nuclear matter and light hypernuclei. We consider the exchange of six mesons (π,K, η, ρ, ω,K). The form factor in the meson exchange mechanism and short range correl...
متن کاملIntrinsic asymmetry parameter in nonmesonic hypernuclear decay: analytical proof of the independence on hypernucleus within an independent particle shell model
We derive general analytical expressions for the evaluation of the intrinsic asymmetry parameter in nonmesonic hypernuclear weak decay, within an independent particle shell model framework. Present formalism is valid for even-even, even-odd and odd-odd core hypernucleus. A standard strangeness-changing weak transition potential with exchange of the complete meson octet (π,η,K,ρ,ω,K∗) is assumed...
متن کاملNonmesonic decay of the Λ-hyperon in hypernuclei produced by p+Au collisions
The lifetime of the Λ-hyperon for the nonmesonic decay ΛN → NN has been determined by a measurement at COSY Jülich of the delayed fission of heavy hypernuclei produced in proton Au collisions at Tp=1.9 GeV. It is found that heavy hypernuclei with mass numbers A≈(180±5) and atomic numbers Z≈(74±2) fission with a lifetime τΛ=130 ± 13(stat.) ± 15(syst.) ps. This value together with the results obt...
