Abstract
It is shown that, for values of theΩ − magnetic moment near that predicted bySU(6), parity effects in radiativeΩ −-decays are expected to be small and, contrary to the situation in hyperon decays, more pronounced in decays with heavy charged particles. They depend, however, sensitively on the magnetic moment ofΩ − and are insensitive to the hyperon moments. This is due to the dominance of a “contact” term which has to be introduced in the amplitude in order to ensure gauge invariance.
