Barnes, P D

The nonmesonic reaction: ..lambda..N ..-->.. NN is discussed as an example of a nonleptonic weak process. Calculations of the reaction rate for this process have been reported using various effective weak Hamiltonians. These predictions are compared with the results of a new investigation of this interaction at the AGS in the context of weak hypernuclear decay. Measurements of hypernuclear lifetimes and neutron stimulated fractions for nonmesonic decay are reported for /sub ..lambda..//sup 12/C and /sub ..lambda..//sup 11/B. 21 refs., 15 figs., 5 tabs.
