Hypernuclear physics legacy and heritage of Dick Dalitz
Abstract
The major contributions of Richard H. Dalitz to hypernuclear physics, since his first paper in 1955 to his last one in 2005 covering a span of 50 years during which he founded and led the theoretical study of hypernuclei, are reviewed from a personal perspective. Topical remarks on the search for quasi-bound Kbar-nuclear states and on kaon condensation are made.
