Title: UNITARY SYMMETRY AND LEPTONIC DECAYS

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Letters

An analysis of leptonic decays based on unitary symmetry for strong interactions (eightfold way) and the V-A theory for weak interactions is presented. An explanation for the observed predominance of the LAMBDA yields + e/sup -/ + nu decay over the LAMBDA /sup -/ yields n + e/sup -/ + nu decay is obtained. Branching ratios predicted for electron modes with DELTA S, 1 are presented; the ratios for the above decays agree well with experimental results. (D.C.W.)
