Abstract

The FINUDA experiment collected data to study the hypernuclear production on different targets, that is 6Li, 7Li, 9Be, 12C, 13C, D 2O, 27Al and 51V. The hypernuclei formation was achieved through the strangeness-exchange reaction K s t o p − + A Z → Λ A Z + π − . From the study of the out-coming π − , information about the hypernuclei binding energies and capture rates can be deduced. Such results for the following nuclei 7Li, 9Be, 13C and D 2O will be presented.
