Challenges in Hyperon Decays

We give an personal overview of some of the unsolved problems related to hyperon decays. We cover nonleptonic decays, radiative decays and magnetic moments. Some of the theoretical issues are also touched upon.Comment: Contribution to Workshop On Low-Energy Pbar Storage Ring (Pbar2000

Exact Solution of an One Dimensional Deterministic Sandpile Model

Using the transfer matrix method, we give the exact solution of a deterministic sandpile model for arbitrary $N$, where $N$ is the size of a single toppling. The one- and two-point functions are given in term of the eigenvalues of an $N \times N$ transfer matrix. All the n-point functions can be found in the same way. Application of this method to a more general class of models is discussed. We also present a quantitative description of the limit cycle (attractor) as a multifractal.Comment: need RevTeX; to appear in Physical Review E January 6, (1995
