INTERACTION OF HYPERTRITONS WITH NUCLEI AT INTERMEDIATE AND HIGH-ENERGIES

The integrated cross sections for the diffractive interaction of incid ent hypertritons with absorbing target nuclei and the cross sections f or the Coulomb dissociation of hypertritons in the held of these nucle i are calculated as functions of the projectile kinetic energy, the hy pertriton binding energy with respect to breakup into a Lambda hyperon and a deuteron, and the mass and charge numbers of the target nucleus . A general analysis of the cross sections is performed, and asymptoti c formulas are obtained for them explicitly.
