Abstract

The article focuses on the scientific analysis regarding the formation of hypernuclei. Hyperons have the capacity to live long to qualify as "elementary" particles but do not qualify to be in the class of "strange" particles. Not all hyperons are stable enough in the presence of nucleons useful for building hypernuclei. According to studies, the lambda particle, which has no electronic charge otherwise can be considered a sort of fat neutron which is the potential ingredient for synthesizing hypernuclei.
