Abstract

Previous studies of proton and neutron spectra from Non-Mesonic Weak Decay of eight Lambda-Hypernuclei (A = 5-16) have been revisited. New values of the ratio of the two-nucleon and the one-proton induced decay widths, Gamma(2N)/Gamma(p), are obtained from single proton spectra, Gamma(2N)/Gamma(p)= 0.50 +/- 0.24, and from neutron and proton coincidence spectra, Gamma(2N)/Gamma(p)= 0.36 +/- 0.14(stat-0.04sys)(+0.05sys), in full agreement with previously published ones. With these values, a method is developed to extract the one-proton induced decay width in units of the free Lambda decay width, Gamma(p)/Gamma(Lambda), without resorting to Intra Nuclear Cascade models but by exploiting only experimental data, under the assumption of a linear dependence on A of the Final State Interaction contribution. This is the first systematic determination ever done and it agrees within the errors with recent theoretical calculations. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B. V.
