Radiative weak decays of baryons

Abstract

A systematic study of the two-quark transition amplitude, $s+u\ensuremath{\rightarrow}u+d+\ensuremath{\gamma}$, and its effect on the radiative weak decays of baryons is made. A model involving the single-quark transition amplitude, $s\ensuremath{\rightarrow}d+\ensuremath{\gamma}$, and the two-quark transition amplitude is shown to be consistent with the existing data.
