Asymmetries in the nonmesonic weak decay of polarized Lambda-hypernuclei

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
The nonmesonic weak decay of polarized 
Λ
 hypernuclei is studied for the first time by taking into account, with a Monte Carlo intranuclear cascade code, the nucleon final state interactions. A one-meson-exchange model is employed to describe the

 processes in a finite nucleus framework. The relationship between the intrinsic 
Λ
 asymmetry parameter 
a
Λ
 and the asymmetry 
a

accessible in experiments is discussed. A strong dependence of

Λ
 on nucleon final state interactions and detection threshold is obtained. Our results for
