Nonmesonic weak decay of Λ hypernuclei

  • 1. Tokyo Inst. of Tech. (Japan). Dept. of Physics

Description

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 correlation are carefully studied. (author)
