We measured the lifetime and the mesonic and non-mesonic decay rates of the 4He-Lambda hypernucleus. The hypernuclei were created using a 750 MeV/c momentum K- beam on a liquid 4He target by the reaction 4He(K-,pi-)4He-Lambda. The 4He-Lambda lifetime was directly measured using protons from Lambda p -> n p non-mesonic decay (also referred to as proton-stimulated decay) and was found to have a value of tau = 245 +/- 24 ps. The mesonic decay rates were determined from the observed numbers of pi-s and pi0s as Gamma_pi-/Gamma_tot = 0.270 +/- 0.024 and Gamma_pi0/Gamma_tot = 0.564 +/- 0.036, respectively, and the values of the proton- and neutron-stimulated decay rates were extracted as Gamma_p/Gamma_tot = 0.169 +/- 0.019 and Gamma_n/Gamma_tot <= 0.032 (95% CL), respectively. The effects of final-state interactions and possible 3-body Lambda N N decay contributions were studied in the context of a simple model of nucleon-stimulated decay. Nucleon-nucleon coincidence events were observed and were used in the determination of the non-mesonic branching fractions. The implications of the results of this analysis were considered for the empirical Delta I = 1/2 rule and the decay rates of the 4H-Lambda hypernucleus.

The results of a measurement of the proton spectra following the Non--Mesonic Weak Decay of $mathrm{^5_{Lambda}He}$, $mathrm{^7_{Lambda}Li}$ and $mathrm{^{12}_{Lambda}C}$ are presented and discussed. The experiment was performed at the ($e^+$ $e^-$)
collider DA$Phi$NE at Laboratori Nazionale di Frascati of INFN. It is the first measurement for $mathrm{^7_{Lambda}Li}$, and for all the spectra the lower limit on the energy of the protons is 15 MeV, never reached before. All the spectra show a similar shape, namely a peak at around 80 MeV as expected for the free $Lambda p to np$ weak reaction, with a low energy rise that should be due to Final State Interactions and/or two--nucleon induced weak processes. The decay spectrum of $mathrm{^5_{Lambda}He}$ is somehow similar to the ones reported by previous measurements and theoretical calculations, but the same doesnt happen for the $mathrm{^{12}_{Lambda}C}$ one.
The FINUDA experiment performed a systematic study of the charged mesonic weak decay channel of $p$-shell $Lambda$-hypernuclei. Negatively charged pion spectra from mesonic decay were measured with magnetic analysis for the first time for ${^{7}_{Lam
bda}Li}$, ${^{9}_{Lambda}Be}$, ${^{11}_{Lambda}B}$ and ${^{15}_{Lambda}N}$. The shape of the $pi^{-}$ spectra was interpreted through a comparison with pion distorted wave calculations that take into account the structure of both hypernucleus and daughter nucleus. Branching ratios $Gamma_{pi^{-}}/Gamma_{tot}$ were derived from the measured spectra and converted to $pi^{-}$ decay rates $Gamma_{pi^{-}}$ by means of known or extrapolated total decay widths $Gamma_{tot}$ of $p$-shell $Lambda$-hypernuclei. Based on these measurements, the spin-parity assignment $1/2^+$ for ${^{7}_{Lambda}Li}$ and $5/2^+$ for ${^{11}_{Lambda}B}$ ground-state are confirmed and a spin-parity $3/2^+$ for ${^{15}_{Lambda}N}$ ground-state is assigned for the first time.
We have measured the energy spectra of pions and protons emitted in the weak decay of 12_Lambda_C, 28_Lambda_Si, and Lambda_Fe hypernuclei produced via the (pi+, K+) reaction. The decay widths of the pi- mesonic decay (Lambda -> p + pi-) and the nonm
esonic decay (Lambda + N -> N + N) were extracted. The present results demonstrate an increase of the mesonic decay width due to a distortion of the pion wave function in nuclear medium for the first time. The ratios of the neutron- to proton-induced nonmesonic decay widths, Gamma_n(Lambda + n -> n + n)/Gamma_p(Lambda + p -> n + p), were evaluated by a direct comparison of the measured proton energy spectra with the calculated ones. No theoretical calculation which has been proposed so far can simultaneously account for both the nonmesonic decay widths and the Gamma_n/Gamma_p ratios in the present data.
We performed a coincidence measurement of two nucleons emitted from the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) of ^{5}_{Lambda}He formed via the ^{6}Li(pi^+,K^+) reaction. The energies of two nucleons and the pair number distributions in the opening angle betw
een them were measured. In both np and nn pairs, we observed a clean back-to-back correlation coming from the two-body decay of Lambda p --> n p and Lambda n --> n n, respectively. The ratio of the nucleon pair numbers was N_{nn}/N_{np}=0.45 pm 0.11(stat)pm 0.03(syst) in the kinematic region of cos(theta_{NN}) < -0.8. Since each decay mode was exclusively detected, the measured ratio should be close to the ratio of Gamma(Lambda p --> np)/Gamma(Lambda n --> nn). The ratio is consistent with recent theoretical calculations based on the heavy meson/direct quark exchange picture.
Decays of the chi_{cJ} states (J=0, 1, 2) to Lambda Lambda bar pi^{+} pi^{-}, including processes with intermediate Sigma(1385), are studied through the E1 transition psi-->gamma chi_{cJ} using 106 million psi events collected with the BESIII detecto
r at BEPCII. This is the first observation of chi_{cJ} decays to the final state LambdaLambda bar pi^{+}pi^{-}. The branching ratio of the intermediate process chi_{cJ}-->Sigma(1385)^{+/-} bar{Sigma}(1385)^{-/+} is also measured for the first time, and the results agree with the theoretical predictions based on the color-octet effect.
