Abstract

To explain the abundant production of ${}_{Λ}^{4}H$ observed in stopped- $K^{-}$ absorption on light nuclei, a theoretical model is proposed, in which the basic ingredient is formation and fragmentation of a Λ compound nucleus. Estimated ${}_{Λ}^{4}H$ formation probabilities per stopped $K^{-}$ agree with the observed values.
