Description

Experimental methods of studying hypernuclear ground states and continuum states observed in the recoilless Λ production are reviewed. These two types of hypernuclear states give the most direct information on the Λ-nucleus interaction. The Λ particle is a unique probe of the nucleus; it interacts strongly with the nucleus and is distinguishable from the nucleons. In light hypernuclei, gamma spectroscopy is a powerful tool in studying the bound excited states. (author)
