Description

New measurements of the Σ+ and Λ weak radiative decays are discussed. The hyperons were produced at rest by the reaction K-p → Yπ where Y = Σ+ or Λ. The monoenergetic pion was used to tag the hyperon production, and the branching ratios were determined from the relative amplitudes of Σ+ → pγ to Σ+ → pπ0 and Λ → nγ to Λ → nπ0. The photons from weak radiative decays and from π0 decays were detected with modular NaI arrays. (orig.)
