Investigation of binding energies of hypernuclei

Abstract

In high energy nuclear reactions one may observethe production of manifold hypernuclei as a result of the capture of hyperons bynuclear residues. We have investigated the statistical disintegration of such hypernuclear systems and its connection to the binding energies of hyperons. Inthe calculations we use the statistical multifragmentationmodel (SMM) adopted for the formation of hypernuclei in the high energy nuclearmultifragmentation reaction events. It was shown within this model that the massdistributions are quite different for the fragments with different strangenesscontents.
