Annotation

Weak radiative hyperon decays are considered in the unitary and quark models. The problem of transition from one model to the other one is solved both for parity-violating and parity-conserving amplitudes. This eliminates the contradiction of incompatibility of these descriptions, which has been discussed for more than 20 years. The model is phenomenological and describes the experimental data well; it gives predictions for asymmetry of$\Lambda\to n+\gamma$ and $\Xi^{-}\to\Sigma^{-}+\gamma$ decays.
