چکیده
We have measured the angular correlation of the pair nucleons np and nn emitted from the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) of 12 Λ C produced via the (π +,K+) reaction in coincidence measurement. The Λp → np and Λn → nn modes were clearly identified by measuring the back-to-back correlation of the emitted nucleon pairs which is the characteristic of two-body kinematics. From the measured nucleon pair numbers Nnn and Nnp, the ratio Γn/Γp of the partial decay widths Γn(Λn → nn) and Γp(Λp → np) of 12 Λ C was extracted to be 0.51 ± 0.13(stat)±0.05(syst); this Preprint submitted to Elsevier Science 8 February 2008 result is almost free from the ambiguity due to the nuclear final state interaction and 3-body decay process, which were inherent in the previous results. The obtained Γn/Γp ratio of 12 Λ C (p-shell) is close to that of 5 ΛHe (s-shell). The results are consistent with those of recent theoretical calculations.

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
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...
