Recent results on mesonic and non-mesonic weak decays Original Research Article

Recent results from the FINUDA experiment on the Mesonic Weak Decay (MWD) and Non-Mesonic Weak Decay (NMWD) channels of p-shell Λ-hypernuclei are presented and discussed. Magnetic analysis of π−ʹs from MWD was performed for the first time for View the MathML source, View the MathML source, View the MathML source and View the MathML source; decay rates were evaluated and a spin-parity assignment JP=3/2+ for View the MathML source ground-state was derived. Spectra of protons from NMWD were obtained for View the MathML source, View the MathML source, View the MathML source, View the MathML source, View the MathML source, View the MathML source, View the MathML source and View the MathML source. An estimation of the contributions of both Final State Interactions (FSI) and two-nucleon induced (2N) decay processes was done, following a model independent approach.
