Abstract

The long standing Γn/Γp puzzle of NMWD has finally been solved recently. It appears that the reason behind the puzzle was the universal quenching of nucleon yields from the prediction of one-nucleon induced (1N-) NMWD. We have shown that the quenching of nucleon yields can be explained only when we include a fairly large contribution of the three-body process (Γ2N) in Γnm.
