Role of deformation in the nonmesonic decay of light hypernuclei
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the nonmesonic decay of deformed p-shell hypernuclei. The Nilsson model with angular momentum projection is employed in order to take into account the deformation effects. The nonmesonic decay rate decreases as a function of the deformation parameter, while the ratio of the neutronto proton-induced decay rates and the intrinsic Λ asymmetry parameter increase. We find that the deformation effects change these observables by about 10 % for ΛBe from the spherical limit. Typeset using REVTEX

Recent results on the nonmesonic weak decay of hypernuclei within a one - meson - exchange model
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 کاملChiral Symmetry and Weak Decay of Hypernuclei
The weak decays of hyperons and hypernuclei are studied from the chiral symmetry viewpoint. The soft pion relations are useful in understanding the isospin properties of the weak hyperon decays. Recent development on the short-range part of the ΛN → NN weak transitions shows fairly good account of the weak decays of hypernuclei, though it fails to explain the n/p ratio. The π decays of light hy...
متن کاملNonmesonic Weak Decay of Light Hypernuclei with Coherent Σ Mixing
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 by the π and K meson exchange processes. Virtual Σ mixings of the coherent type are found to give significant effects on the decay rates of 4ΛHe. A large ...
متن کاملNonmesonic Weak Decay of Λ Hypernuclei within a Nuclear Matter Formalism
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 c...
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...
