Hyperonic mixing in five-baryon double-strangeness hypernuclei in a two-channel treatment
Properties of hypernuclei H and He are studied in a two-channel approach with explicit treatment of
coupling of channels ^3\text{Z}+\Lambda+\Lambda and \alpha+\Xi. Diagonal
\Lambda\Lambda and coupling \Lambda\Lambda-\Xi N interactions are derived
within G-matrix procedure from Nijmegen meson-exchange models. Bond energy
\Delta B_{\Lambda\Lambda} in He exceeds significantly
that in H due to the channel coupling. Diagonal \Xi\alpha
attraction amplifies the effect, which is sensitive also to \Lambda-core
interaction. The difference of the \Delta B_{\Lambda\Lambda} values can be an
unambiguous signature of the \Lambda\Lambda-\Xi N coupling in \Lambda\Lambda
hypernuclei. However, improved knowledge of the hyperon-nucleus potentials is
needed for quantitative extraction of the coupling strength from future data on
the \Lambda\Lambda hypernuclear binding energies.Comment: 11 pages with 3 figures; Phys. Rev. C, accepte
--Dependence of Bond Energies in Double--- Hypernuclei
The -dependence of the bond energy of the
hypernuclear ground states is calculated in a three-body
model and in the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach.
Various and -nucleus or potentials
are used and the sensitivity of to the interactions
is discussed. It is shown that in medium and heavy
hypernuclei, is a linear function of
, where is rms radius of the hyperon orbital. It
looks unlikely that it will be possible to extract
interaction from the double- hypernuclear energies only, the
additional information about the -core interaction, in particular, on
is needed.Comment: 11 pages, LaTex, 3 figure
Brueckner Rearrangement Effects in He and He
Rearrangement effects in light hypernuclei are investigated in the framework
of the Brueckner theory. We can estimate without detailed numerical
calculations that the energy of the -core is reduced by more than 2.5
MeV when the adheres to He to form He. Similar
assessment of rearrangement contributions is essential to deduce the strength
of interaction from experimentally observed . The recently observed experimental value of 1 MeV
for the of \hll suggests that the matrix element of
in \hll is around -2 MeV.Comment: 7 pages, to appear in Phys. Rev.
S-wave Pairing of Hyperons in Dense Matter
In this work we calculate the gap energies of hyperons in
neutron star matter. The calculation is based on a solution of the BCS gap
equation for an effective G-matrix parameterization of the
interaction with a nuclear matter background, presented recently by Lanskoy and
Yamamoto. We find that a gap energy of a few tenths of MeV is expected for
Fermi momenta up to about 1.3 fm. Implications for neutron
star matter are examined, and suggest the existence of a
superfluid between the threshold baryon density for formation and the
baryon density where the fraction reaches .Comment: 16 pages, Revtex, 9 figures, 33 reference
On the Surface Structure of Strange Superheavy Nuclei
Bound, strange, neutral superheavy nuclei, stable against strong decay, may
exist. A model effective field theory calculation of the surface energy and
density of such systems is carried out assuming vector meson couplings to
conserved currents and scalar couplings fit to data where it exists. The
non-linear relativistic mean field equations are solved assuming local baryon
sources. The approach is calibrated through a successful calculation of the
known nuclear surface tension.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figure
Phenomenological model for the Kbar N --> K Xi reaction
A phenomenological model for the Kbar N --> K Xi reaction is suggested. The
model includes s and u channel exchanges by Lambda, Sigma, Sigma(1385), and
Lambda(1520) and s channel exchanges by above-threshold hyperonic resonances.
Explicit expression for the propagator for a particle with spin 7/2 is
presented. High-mass and high-spin resonances play a significant role in the
process. We deal with the whole set of existing experimental data on the cross
sections and polarizations in the energy range from the threshold to 2.8 GeV in
the center-of-mass system and reach a good agreement with experiments.
Applications of the model to other elementary reactions of Xi production and to
Xi hypernuclear spectroscopy are briefly discussed.Comment: Published version; minor change
Production of {\pi}+ and K+ mesons in argon-nucleus interactions at 3.2 AGeV
First physics results of the BM@N experiment at the Nuclotron/NICA complex
are presented on {\pi}+ and K+ meson production in interactions of an argon
beam with fixed targets of C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb at 3.2 AGeV. Transverse
momentum distributions, rapidity spectra and multiplicities of {\pi}+ and K+
mesons are measured. The results are compared with predictions of theoretical
models and with other measurements at lower energies.Comment: 29 pages, 20 figure
