THE LAST RESULTS FROM THE FINUDA EXPERIMENT

FINUDA was a complex magnetic spectrometer installed on the DAΦNE e+e- collider, the Italian ϕ-factory put in operation at the INFN National Laboratories of Frascati, near Rome. It was carefully designed and specially dedicated to an extensive program of hypernuclear physics, mainly focussed on spectroscopy of light Λ-hypernuclei and on systematic study of their decay modes. Among the latest FINUDA results, of particular importance are the first observation of the neutron-rich Λ-hypernucleus ${}^6_\Lambda\, {\rm H}$ and the first experimental evidence of the so-called hypernucleus two-nucleon induced non-mesonic weak decay.
