A probable example of a nonmesonic double hypernucleus

A search is made to identify hypernuclear species with two or more decay centres in nuclear emulsion exposed to a separated beam of 3.0 GeV/c K/sup -/-mesons at the CERN Proton Synchrotron. In a sample of 493 hypernuclei one event has been observed whose most probable interpretation turns out to be...

Sumario:A search is made to identify hypernuclear species with two or more decay centres in nuclear emulsion exposed to a separated beam of 3.0 GeV/c K/sup -/-mesons at the CERN Proton Synchrotron. In a sample of 493 hypernuclei one event has been observed whose most probable interpretation turns out to be /sup 31/Si/sub Lambda Lambda / with the successive decay modes /sup 31/Si/sub Lambda Lambda / to /sup 14/C/sub Lambda /+/sup 16/O+n, followed by /sup 14/C/sub Lambda / to /sup 4/He+ /sup 3/He+/sup 3/He+/sup 2/H+/sup 1/H+n, and binding energy B/sub Lambda Lambda /=(38.2+or-6.3) MeV.
