in light nuclei 6Li and 12C are studied. Λ-hyperons
and deuterons are found to be preferentially emitted in opposite directions. The Λd invariant mass spectrum of 6Li shows a bump whose mass is 3251 ±6 MeV/c2. The bump mass (binding energy), width and yield are reported. The appearance of a bump is discussed in the realm of the
[ ¯K3N] clustering process in nuclei. The experiment was performed with the FINUDA spectrometer at DANE (LNF

Search for 6ΛH and 7ΛH with the (K- stop , π+) reaction
The production of neutron rich Λ-hypernuclei via the (K
−
stop,π
+) reaction has been studied using data collected with the FINUDA spectrometer
at the DANE φ-factory (LNF). The analysis of the inclusive π
+ momentum spectra is presented and an upper limit for the production of 6Λ

and 7Λ
H from 6Li and 7Li, is assessed for the first time
