Photo- and electro-production of medium mass Lambda-hypernuclei

The characteristic and selective nature of the electro-magnetic production of Lambda-hypernuclei in exciting states is demonstrated assuming the medium-mass targets 28Si, 40Ca, and 52Cr. Formalism of DWIA is used adopting the Saclay-Lyon, Kaon-MAID, Adelseck-Saghai, and Williams-Ji-Cotanch models for the elementary amplitudes and various nuclear and hypernuclear wave functions. The elementary amplitudes are discussed in detail presenting their basic properties and comparison with data. The unique features of the electro-magnetic production of Lambda-hypernuclei shown on examples are the slective excitation of unnatural parity highest-spin states (natural parity ones for the LS-closed targets) and a possibilty to investigate the Lambda single-particle energies including a spin-orbit splitting using variety of medium-mass targets.

Pionic decay of a possible d'-dibaryon and the short-range NN interaction

We study the pionic decay of a possible dibaryon d' --> N N πin the microscopic quark shell model. The initial d' dibaryon wave function (J^P=0^-, T=0) consists of one 1\hbarωsix-quark shell-model s^5p[51]_X configuration. The most important final six-quark configurations s^6[6]_X, s^4p^2[42]_X and (s^4p^2-s^52s)[6]_X are properly projected onto the NN channel. The final state NN interaction is investigated by means of two phase-equivalent - but off-shell different - potential models. We demonstrate that the decay width Γ_d' depends strongly on the short-range behavior of the NN wave function. In addition, the width Γ_d' is very sensitive to the mass and size of the d' dibaryon. For dibaryon masses slightly above the experimentally suggested value M_d'=2.065 GeV, we obtain a pionic decay width of Γ_d' = 0.18 - 0.32 MeV close to the experimental value Γ_d' = 0.5 MeV.

Non-mesonic Weak Decays of Light Hypernuclei in the Direct Quark and the One-Pion Exchange Mechanisms

Contributions of the direct quark mechanism are studied in the nonmesonic weak decays of light hypernuclei. The $ΛN \to NN$ transition is described by the one pion exchange mechanism and the direct quark mechanism, induced by the four-quark vertices in the effective weak Hamiltonian. By employing a realistic wave function of the $Λ$ inside the hypernuclei, nonmesonic decay rates of $^4_Λ$H, $^4_Λ$He, and $^5_Λ$He are calculated. The results show that the direct quark mechanism is significantly large and gives a large $ΔI =3/2$ contribution in the J=0 channel. The relative phase between the one-pion exchange and the direct-quark contributions is determined so that the effective weak Hamiltonian for quarks give both of them consistently. We find that the sum of these two contributions reproduce the current available experimental data fairly well.

Pionic Decay of a Possible d'-Dibaryon

The pionic decay of a possible d'-dibaryon in the process d' --> pi + N + N is studied in the microscopic quark shell model and with a single-quark transition operator describing the transition q --> pi + q'. For the d' with quantum numbers J^P=0^-, T=0, we employ a six-quark shell-model wave function with a spatial s^5p [51]_X-configuration with N=1 harmonic oscillator quanta. It is shown that the pionic decay width depends strongly on the mass and size of the d'. In the case that the calculated d' mass is close to the experimental one a small pionic decay width of 0.04 MeV is obtained. This is an order of magnitude smaller than the experimentally suggested value of 0.5 MeV. Two possibilities to improve the calculated width are suggested. The effect of the nonstatic correction term in the transition operator and the influence of the form factor at the decay vertex on the decay width are also discussed.
