Observation of hypernuclear gamma-ray transitions in /sub. lambda. //sup 7/Li and /sub. lambda. //sup 9/Be

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
..gamma..-ray transitions of energy 2.034 +- 0.023 MeV in the hypernucleus /sub ..lambda..//sup 7/Li and 3.079 +- 0.040 MeV in the hypernucleus /sub ..lambda..//sup 9/Be are observed. In both cases, the energy of the ..gamma.. ray in the hypernucleus /sub ..lambda..//sup A/Z is very close to the energy of the first excited state of the nuclear core. The ..gamma.. rays are interpreted as arising from core transitions in the presence of the ..lambda.. particle. The size of the shift places limits on the strength of the ..lambda..N spin-dependent interaction.
