Abstract

An effective quark-gluon-photon operator is considered as the mechanism for radiative weak decays of hyperons. The coefficient function is unsuppressed by GIM cancellations, suggesting a significant decay rate, and a substantial amount of parity violation (large decay asymmetry) is expected. Attempted model calculations confirm this last feature but fail to provide an adequate absolute decay rate.
