Summary
In order to interpret a recent experimental result regarding the stimulated decay of Λ-hyperons bound in hyperfragments, a model has been considered in which the decay of the Λ-hyperon may also occur when in the virtual gS-state. The consequences of the non-conservation of parity are also considered.
Riassunto
Per interpretare un recente risultato sperimentale riguardante il decadimento degli iperoni Λ legati in iperframmenti è stato preso in esame un modello nel quale il decadimento dell’iperone Λ può accadere anche nello stato gS virtuale. Si considerano anche le conseguenze della non conservazione della parità.
