Weak decays of medium and heavy L hypernuclei

چکیده
We have made a new evaluation of the L decay width in nuclear matter within the propagator method. Through the local density approximation it is possible to obtain results in finite nuclei. We have also studied the dependence of the widths on the NN and LN strong short-range correlations. Using reasonable values for the parameters that control these correlations, as well as realistic nuclear densities and L wave functions, we show that it is possible to reproduce the experimental decay rates in a wide range of mass numbers ~from medium to heavy hypernuclei!; however, the question related to the Gn /Gp ratio remains open.

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...

Low energy π emission in hypernuclear weak decays is studied in the soft pion limit. It is found that the π decay amplitude is dominated by the ∆I = 3/2 part of nonmesonic weak decays according to the soft pion theorem. The ratios, R(π/soft π−), for light hypernuclei are estimated in the direct quark mechanism, which predicts violation of the ∆I = 1/2 rule, and found to be about 1/3 for 4ΛHe. ∗...

Low energy π emission in hypernuclear weak decays is related to ∆I = 3/2 part of nonmesonic weak decays according to the soft pion theorem. We show that neither meson exchange pictures nor virtual Σ excitation can solve the π emission puzzle. On the other hand, the direct quark mechanism gives the ratio R(π/π : S-wave, soft pion) ≈ 1/4 for 4ΛHe and 5ΛHe. ∗email: [email protected]
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...
