Abstract

The possibility of a detailed investigation of weak ΛN interaction in the Λ10Be and Λ/10B hypernuclei, which stand out owing to their ααNΛ cluster structure, is discussed. The detection of a few groups of correlated αα pairs will furnish information about decays to specific states of product nuclei (8Be*, 8Li, 8B), thereby paving the way to a phenomenological analysis of the weak decays of p-shell hypernuclei. The ratios of the intensities of individual alpha-particle groups to be measured in experiments at the nuclotron of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna) will provide a useful criterion for choosing an appropriate model of weak ΛN interaction. The current state of hypernuclear physics is briefly reviewed.
