description

We establish the reasons for the different effect of short range correlations in the nonmesonic decay of Λ hypernuclei found by relativistic and nonrelativistic approaches. By means of a schematic microscopic model for the origin of correlations, the appropriate method to include them in nuclear processes, via a correlation function, is derived and is found to be the one used in the nonrelativistic approach.
