Abstrakt: The FINUDA experiment at DAΦNE, Frascati, has found evidence for the neutron-rich hypernucleus Λ6H studying (π+, π-) pairs in coincidence from the Kstop- + 6Li → Λ6H + π+ production reaction followed by Λ6H → 6He + π- weak decay. The production rate of Λ6H undergoing this two-body π- decay has been found to be (2.9 ± 2.0) ⋅ 10-6/Kstop-. Its binding energy has been evaluated to be BΛ(Λ6H) = (4.0 ± 1.1) MeV with respect to 5H + Λ, jointly from production and decay. A systematic difference of (0.98 ± 0.74) MeV between BΛ values derived separately from decay and from production has been tentatively assigned to the Λ6H 0g.s.+ → 1+ excitation. A similar investigation has been carried out for the neutron-rich hypernucleus Λ9He studying the Kstop- + 9Be → Λ9He + π+ reaction in coincidence with the Λ9He → 9Li + π- weak decay; an upper limit for the production rate of Λ9He undergoing the two-body π- decay has been found to be 4.2 ⋅ 10-6/Kstop- (90% C.L.).
