Outline• Motivation: Hypernuclei and hypertriton
• Effective field theory potentials
• NN, YN
• ΛN—>NN
• Hypertriton (non-mesonic) weak decay

Hyperons and hypernucleiHyperons: baryons with strangeness
Mesonic decay: ground state hyperons in free space decay weakly mainly to a baryon and a meson.
Mesonic decay of the Lambda: Λ → p π- (64%) and Λ → n π0 (36%), τ ~ 260 ± 2 ps
Hypernuclei: Bound states of nucleons (p, n) and hyperons (Λ, Σ, Ξ, …)
Λ hypernuclei also decay non-mesonically: ΛN→NN (dominant for A ≥ 5), ΛNN→NNN (DAφNE, JParc)

HypertritonIt’s the lightest hypernucleus: Λpn, Λ-Σ mix, s=1/2, B=130±50 KeV
It decays faster than the Lambda! Rappold, Saito et al., PLB 728 (2013) 543
The study of its weak decays requires:
• The strong forces among hyperons and nucleons and the weak decay mechanisms.
• Few-body scheme to implement all the interactions

Effective field theoryA systematic approximation to some underlying dynamics valid at a certain energy scale
Method:
1. Separate low and high energy scales and identify relevant degrees of freedom and symmetries
2. Construct organisational scheme (momentum expansion)
3. Build the most general Lagrangian with these d.o.f. and symmetry constraints
4. Calculate matrix elements up to a certain order in the expansion

• Separate low and high energy scales and identify relevant degrees of freedom and symmetries:
Low energy scale: q < 300 MeV
Hard scale: ΛQCD ~ MN ~1 GeV
Degrees of freedom: pions, mπ ~138 MeV
Symmetries: chiral symmetry (π are goldstone bosons)

Example: the nuclear force• Construct organisational scheme
Heavy baryon: expand in q/MN and mπ /MN (q0 ~ MN → treat nucleons non-relativistically)
Expand V chirally with Weinberg power counting and use regularized Lippmann-Schwinger eq. (NN bound states, large scattering lengths).

Summary and conclusions• The hypertriton can be studied with precise few-body techniques.
Its weak non-mesonic decay has been studied complementing exact wave functions obtained solving Faddeev equations with the leading order piece of the weak ΛN —> NN transition
• We have developed an EFT for the two-body ΛN —> NN transition driving the decay of hypernuclei.
• The 2π exchange mechanism has been incorporated systematically in the EFT. It has a sizeable effect at medium and short ranges and should play an important role once more experimental data are available.
• Due to the lack of experimental data we have explored the decay rate as a function of the two low-energy constants appearing at leading order.
