Abstract

We discuss the production of doubly strange hypernuclei in - atomic capture. The two-body -+6Li6He+n reaction is a relatively favorable case, with a yield of order 3%. For heavier p-shell targets, such as N14, the (1s)2 ground-state yields in the -+AZA(Z-1)+n reaction are suppressed, and states of (1s 1p) structure, coupled to an excited nuclear core, are preferentially populated.
