Spin polarization and spin alignment in hypernuclei

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

Spin polarization and spin alignment of angular momenta in hypernuclei are discussed in terms of a distorted wave Born approximation. Hypernuclei produced by (..pi../sup +/,K/sup +/) and (K/sup -/,..pi../sup -/) reactions are shown to have sizable amounts of polarization and alignment. They are promising for use in spectroscopic studies of electromagnetic transitions, electromagnetic moments, and weak decays of hypernuclear states.
