Direct quark transition potential for ΛN → NN decay
نویسندگان
چکیده
The weak ΛN → NN transition is studied in the valence quark model approach. The quark component of the two baryon system is described in the quark cluster model and the weak transition potential is calculated by evaluating the matrix elements of the ∆S = 1 effective weak Hamiltonian. The transition potential is applied to the decay of hypernuclei and the results are compared with available experimental data. The results indicate that direct quark process is significant and qualitatively different when compared with those in conventional meson-exchange calculations. The direct quark mechanism predicts the violation of the ∆I = 1/2 rule for this transition. *

Weak Transition in Double-Λ Hypernuclei
We calculate the ΛΛ → Y N transition rate of 6 ΛΛHe by the hybrid picture, the π and K exchanges plus the direct quark processes. It is found that the hyperon-induced decay is weaker than the nucleon-induced decay, but the former may reveal the short-range mechanism of the weak transition and also give a clear signal of the strong ∆I = 3/2 transition. The ΛΛ → YN transition in double-Λ hypernuc...
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 کاملDirect Quark Mechanism for Weak Λ N ↔ NN Processes
Two body weak processes ΛN ↔ NN are studied from the viewpoint of quark substructure of baryons. They can be studied in nonmesonic weak decays of hypernuclei and also hyperon production in the NN scattering. The direct quark mechanism in contrast to the one-pion exchange mechanism is shown to give sizable ∆I = 3/2 contribution in the J = 0 channel. Nonmesonic decay rates of 4ΛH, 4 ΛHe, and 5 ΛH...
متن کاملNon-mesonic Weak Decays of Light Hypernuclei in the Direct Quark and the One-Pion Exchange Mechanisms
Contributions of the direct quark mechanism are studied in the nonmesonic weak decays of light hypernuclei. The ΛN → NN transition is described by the one pion exchange mechanism and the direct quark mechanism, induced by the four-quark vertices in the effective weak Hamiltonian. By employing a realistic wave function of the Λ inside the hypernuclei, nonmesonic decay rates of ΛH, 4 ΛHe, and 5 Λ...
متن کاملTransition in the Direct Quark Mechanism ∗
The weak ΛN → NN transition is studied in the valence quark model approach. The momentum transfer for this transition is so large that the short-distance two baryon dynamics must be taken into account. The two baryon system is described in the quark cluster model and the weak transition amplitude is calculated by evaluating the matrix elements of the effective weak ∆S = 1 hamiltonian. The resul...
