Λ-Nuclear Properties from the Spectroscopy ofCΛ13

Abstract
A comprehensive shell model for light hypernuclei has been developed and applied to CΛ13. Absolutely normalized distorted-wave calculations yield angular distributions in excellent agreement with experiment, allowing spin assignments to be made. Coherences arising from the distinguishability of the Λ are predicted theoretically and observed in the data. The overall comparison with experiment places constraints on residual interaction matrix elements.
