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.
