The π+ mesonic decays of light hypernuclei

Twenty examples of π+ mesonic decays of light hypernuclei have been found together with 7000 π- mesonic decays. The ratio R4 of π+ mesonic decays for the gL4 He hypernucleus has been computed from the results of this work and those of a previous experiment [1] and is found to lie between the values 5.4 ± 1.5%1.7% and 6.9 ± 1.8%2.1%. The π+ mesonic decays of other species of hypernuclei are briefly discussed. © 1969.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

A determination of the binding-energy values of light hypernuclei

The results of an experimental study of the binding energies of light hypernuclei are presented, based on a sample of 2008 uniquely identified π- mesonic decays. The problems of the calibration procedure and the selection criteria are discussed. Various aspects of the Λ-N interaction are reviewed in the light of these new results. © 1968.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
