Phys. Rev. C 63, 044318 (2001) [6 pages]Role of deformation in the nonmesonic decay of light hypernucleiReceived 28 April 2000; published 19 March 2001 We discuss the nonmesonic decay of deformed p-shell hypernuclei. The Nilsson model with angular momentum projection is employed in order to take into account the deformation effects. The nonmesonic decay rate and the intrinsic Λ asymmetry parameter decrease as a function of the deformation parameter, while the ratio of the neutron- to proton-induced decay rates increases. We find that the deformation effects change these observables by about 10% for Λ9Be from the spherical limit. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
