A double-hyperfragment event has been found in a hybrid-emulsion experiment. It is identified uniquely as the sequential decay of ( 6)(LambdaLambda)He emitted from a Xi(-) hyperon nuclear capture at rest. The mass of ( 6)(LambdaLambda)He and the Lambda-Lambda interaction energy DeltaB(LambdaLambda) have been measured for the first time devoid of the ambiguities due to the possibilities of excited states. The value of DeltaB(LambdaLambda) is 1.01+/-0.20(+0.18)(-0.11) MeV. This demonstrates that the Lambda-Lambda interaction is weakly attractive.

Cascade hypernuclei have been studied in the (K Ϫ ,K ϩ) reaction on a scintillating fiber target. The experimental result is compared with a theoretical calculation in order to extract information concerning the ⌶ Ϫ nucleus potential. ͓S0556-2813͑98͒01108-X͔
