Nonleptonic decay of hyperons

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

We have considered the nonleptonic decays of hyperons in the baryon pole approximation.SU 3 symmetry is assumed for strong interaction and the tensor character of two-baryon vertices is uniquely determined by the |ΔI|=1/2 and ΔS=1 rules. Asymmetry parameters of hyperons including Ξ are expressed with three weak-interaction parameters and the ratio betweenf andd strong couplings. Using Σ± data to fix these parameters we find —αΛΞ=0.5 whenf coupling is 72% ofd coupling. We also find that Σ+→n+π+ decay must proceed viap-wave so that the correct signs of αΛ and αΞ are to be derived.

Riassunto

Si studiano i decadimenti non leptonici degli iperoni nell’approssimazione del polo barionico. Si presuppone la simmetriaSU 3 per le interazioni; il carattere tensoriale del vertice a due barioni è determinato unicamente dalle regole |ΔI|=1/2 e ΔS=1. Si esprimono i parametri di asimmetria degli iperoni, compreso lo Ξ, tramite tre parametri delle interazioni deboli ed il rapporto fra gli accoppiamenti fortif ed. Servendosi dei dati del Σ± per determinare questi parametri, si trova −—αΛΞ=0.5, quando l’accoppiamentof è il 72% dell’accoppiamentod. Si trova anche che il decadimento Σ+→n+π+ deve avvenire tramite l’ondap, in modo che si possano ottenere i segni corretti per αΛ e αΞ.
