✦ Synopsis

Recent experimental efforts on hypernuclei at KEK and BNL have been extending the research field of baryon many-body systems in the flavor SU(3) world. Regarding E-hypernuclei, two recent experiments, E887 and E905, at BNL-AGS have drawn important conclusions concerning the narrow-width problem and the bound-state problem of E-hypernuclei based on the high-statistics data of the 9Be(K-,rr±) and 4He(K-,rr±) reactions. There has also been an attempt to determine the binding energy of light double-A hypernuclei. These new data on few-body hypernuclear systems may reveal new interesting aspects from the viewpoint of baryon few-body systems.
