  15. Summary • I have discussed the recent experimental results on NMWD of Λhypernuclei and the effects of FSI on theΓn/Γp. • A series of experiments have been done at KEK-PS, • the decay particle spectra of n and p (Nn, Np) and • the exclusive coincidence pair yields (Nnn, Nnp) of NMWD • 3. The ratios of singles yields of n/p and coincidence yeilds of nn/np gives Γn/Γp values which well supports the recent theoretical ratios. • 4. The difference of Γn/Γp values from singles yields of n/p and coincidence yeilds of nn/np is interpretted as 2N contribution. This probably is the first experimental indication of 2N process. • It is expected that the 2N contribution now can be extracted from the coincidence data.

  25. Taking the ratios of singles yields of n/p and coincidence yeilds of nn/np give Γn/Γp different values whose differce is interpreted as 2N contribution, Γn/Γp (Nn/Np)  0.61(5He), 0.58(12C), Γn/Γp (Nnn/Nnp)  0.43(5He), 0.34(12C). 4. Showed that 2N component can be resolved from coincidence data. For the extraction of 2N contribution, one need FSI model calculation but only for the second order effect. 5. Pinning the The direct comparison of the spectra gave the Γn/Γp ratio close to 0.5. The coincidence exclusive measurements of NMWD produced the results on NMWD quite free from FSI and 2N contribution. The results show the Γn/Γp ratio ~0.4. 5. As long as Γn/Γp ratio concerned, the experimental and theoretical ratios now well agree to each other. However, αnm remains inconsistent between those of experiment and theory.
