چکیده
The π-mesonic decay of the hypertriton is calculated based on a hypertriton wavefunction and 3N scattering states, which are rigorous solutions of 3-body Faddeev equations using realistic NN and hyperon-nucleon interactions. The total π-mesonic decay rate is found to be 92% of the free Λ decay rate, which is close to the experimental data. Together with the nonmesonic decay the total life time of 3 Λ H is predicted to be 2.78 × 10 −10 sec which is 6 % larger than for the free Λ particle. The differential decay rate is evaluated as a function of the pion momentum. The decay into the N + d + π channel is stronger than in the 3N + π channel in contrast to the situation for the nonmesonic decay. The ratio for the decay rate into 3 He + π − to the decay rate into all channels including π − is found to be 0.40, which is close to the experimental value. We visualise the decay into the dominant channel p + d + π − in a Dalitz plot. Finally we compare the polarisation of the outgoing proton in free unpolarised Λ-decay to the polarisation of 3 He in unpolarised 3 Λ H-decay and we compare the closely related asymmetry of π − emitted parallel and antiparallel with respect to the spin-direction for a polarised Λ to the corresponding asymmetry for a polarised 3 Λ H.

We review recent developments concerning the weak decay of Λ hypernuclei. New studies covering the mesonic decay channel as well as recent models for the non-mesonic one are discussed and compared with experimental data. The puzzle of the neutronto proton-induced decay ratio, Γn/Γp, is addressed in connection to the two-nucleon induced decay channel and proposals for more efficient experimental...

We compute for the first time the decay width of Λ-hypernuclei in a rela-tivistic mean-field approximation to the Walecka model. Due to the small mass difference between the Λ-hyperon and its decay products—a nucleon and a pion—the mesonic component of the decay is strongly Pauli blocked in the nuclear medium. Thus, the in-medium decay becomes dominated by the non-mesonic, or two-body, componen...
