The BSA results of the L n = 1-structure characteristics 6. 4. Results and discussion on the L n = 1-resonance states § 7.

IntroductionRecently structures of light hypernuclei attract particular interests, because the strangeness-exchange (K-, Jr) reactions have been providing important information on excited states of A and 2: hypernuclei. In fact the (K-, Jr) reaction experiinents done at CERN,1l-7 > Brookhaven 8 >-to> and KEK 11 > offer new data such as excited state energies, production intensities and-level widths for a number of hypernuclei. In a few cases even the hypernuclear y-rays 7 >,to> and pion angular distributions 9 > have been observed. These experiments, in addition to the previous emulsion studies 12 > giving the ground state energies, opened a gate to the 'hypernuclear spectroscopy' which is expected to disclose dynamical aspects of the hypernuclear structure. 5 >' 13 >-25 > Accordingly the theoretical investigations are required to be leveled up, so that predictions of various physical quantities as well as explanations of the existing data can be made in neccessary details.In this chapter we present the results of a systematic study of the light hypernudei enclosed by the hatched boundary on the chart, Fig. 1, of the known hypernuclides. In these hypernuclei the cluster aspect is essentially important, 2 n" 23 > since the aspect is widely proved to be indispensable in describing the corresponding ordinary nuclei. 26 >' 27 > From this point of view, in the previous papers/ 1 >-23 > we have investigated these hypernuclei by employing the microscopic three-cluster model. This line of our works is summarized and extended here to study the production, structure and decay of these hypernuclei.The shell model is, of course, of fundamental importance as has been widely demontions of §4. In §5 are described the expression and the estimates of the Jr-mesic decay rates. Section 6 is devoted to an advanced treatment for the resonance-peak widths in the 9 Be(K-, Jr-)~Be reaction. The channel-coupled scattering equation is solved and the mechanism of the 'high' -lying resonance is explained.
