The nonleptonic weak decay of /sup 5//sub lambda/He and /sup 12//sub lambda/C

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6912436
The nonmesonic reaction: lambda + N ..-->.. N N is discussed as an example of a nonleptonic weak process for which calculations have been reported using various effective weak Hamiltonians. An investigation of this reaction at the AGS in the context of weak hypernuclear decay is discussed. Measurements of hypernuclear lifetimes and partial decay rates are reported for /sup 5//sub lambda/He and /sup 12//sub lambda/C.
