Abstract

A new method of obtaining the charge spectrum of light hyperfragments from their residual range distribution is described. This method has been used to determine the ratio (Q−) of non-mesic to π−-mesic decay of light hyperfragments. The values of Q− for hyperfragments of different charges are found to be in good agreement with theoretical calculations of Dalitz.
