The Delta I=1/2 rule in non-mesonic weak decay of Lambda-hypernuclei
By employing recent data on non-mesonic decay of s-shell Lambda-hypernuclei we study, within the phenomenological model of Block and Dalitz, the validity of the Delta I=1/2 rule in the Lambda N--> NN process. Due to the low experimental precision, a possible violation of this rule can be neither proved nor excluded at present with sufficient accuracy: a pure Delta I=1/2 transition amplitude is excluded at 40% confidence level.
