Hypernuclear physics

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6319060
A brief overview of progress made in the study of hypernuclear physics is presented. The use of ..lambda..-hypernuclei to study properties of conventional (nonstrange) nuclei is explored. Our knowledge of the hyperon-nucleon force is reviewed. Anecdotal examples of interesting hypernuclear phenomena are discussed. The status of ..sigma..-hypernuclei is considered along with a search for the ''H'' dibaryon. 30 refs., 10 figs.
