    Lambda Lambda-XiN Coupling Effects in Light Hypernuclei

    Full text link
    The significance of ΛΛ\Lambda\Lambda-Ξ\XiN coupling in double-Λ\Lambda hypernuclei has been studied. The Pauli suppression effect due to this coupling in ΛΛ6^6_{\Lambda\Lambda}He has been found to be 0.43 MeV for the coupling strength of the NSC97e potential. This indicates that the free-space ΛΛ\Lambda\Lambda interaction is stronger by about 55^{\circ} phase shift than that deduced from the empirical data of ΛΛ6^6_{\Lambda\Lambda}He without including the Pauli suppression effect. In ΛΛ5^5_{\Lambda\Lambda}He and ΛΛ5^5_{\Lambda\Lambda}H, an attractive term arising from ΛΛ\Lambda\Lambda-Ξ\XiN conversion is enhanced by the formation of an alpha particle in intermediate Ξ\Xi states. According to this enhancement, we have found that the ΛΛ\Lambda\Lambda binding energy (ΔBΛΛ\Delta B_{\Lambda\Lambda}) of ΛΛ5^5_{\Lambda\Lambda}He is about 0.27 MeV larger than that of ΛΛ6^6_{\Lambda\Lambda}He for the NSC97e coupling strength. This finding deviates from a general picture that the heavier is the core nucleus, the larger is ΔBΛΛ\Delta B_{\Lambda\Lambda}.Comment: 16 pages with 2 figure

    Feasibility of extracting a Σ\Sigma^- admixture probability in the neutron-rich Λ10^{10}_{\Lambda}Li hypernucleus

    Full text link
    We examine theoretically production of the neutron-rich Λ10^{10}_{\Lambda}Li hypernucleus by a double-charge exchange (π\pi^-, K+K^+) reaction on a 10^{10}B target with distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations. The result shows that the magnitude and shape of the calculated spectrum at 1.20 GeV/c by a one-step mechanism πpK+Σ\pi^-p \to K^+ \Sigma^- via Σ\Sigma^- doorways caused by a ΣpΛn\Sigma^-p \leftrightarrow \Lambda n coupling can explain the recent experimental data, and the Σ\Sigma^- admixture probability in Λ10^{10}_{\Lambda}Li is found to be the order of 101^{-1} %. The (π\pi^-, K+K^+) reaction provides a capability of extracting properties of wave functions with Λ\Lambda-Σ\Sigma coupling effects in neutron-rich nuclei, together with the reaction mechanism.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure

    Full-Coupled Channel Approach to Doubly Strange ss-Shell Hypernuclei

    Get PDF
    We describe {\it ab initio} calculations of doubly strange, S=2S=-2, ss-shell hypernuclei (ΛΛ4^4_{\Lambda\Lambda}H, ΛΛ5^5_{\Lambda\Lambda}H, ΛΛ5^5_{\Lambda\Lambda}He and ΛΛ6^6_{\Lambda\Lambda}He) as a first attempt to explore the few-body problem of the {\it full}-coupled channel scheme for these systems. The wave function includes ΛΛ\Lambda\Lambda, ΛΣ\Lambda\Sigma, NΞN\Xi and ΣΣ\Sigma\Sigma channels. Minnesota NNNN, D2^\prime YNYN, and simulated YYYY potentials based on the Nijmegen hard-core model, are used. Bound state solutions of these systems are obtained. We find that a set of phenomenological B8B8B_8B_8 interactions among the octet baryons in S=0,1S=0, -1 and -2 sectors, which is consistent with all of the available experimental binding energies of S=0,1S=0, -1 and -2 ss-shell (hyper-)nuclei, can predict a particle stable bound state of ΛΛ4^4_{\Lambda\Lambda}H. For ΛΛ5^5_{\Lambda\Lambda}H and ΛΛ5^5_{\Lambda\Lambda}He, ΛNΣN\Lambda N-\Sigma N and ΞNΛΣ\Xi N-\Lambda\Sigma potentials enhance the net ΛΛNΞ\Lambda\Lambda-N\Xi coupling, and a large Ξ\Xi probability is obtained even for a weaker ΛΛNΞ\Lambda\Lambda-N\Xi potential.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur

    The Λ\Lambda-Σ\Sigma coupling effect in the neutron-rich Λ\Lambda-hypernucleus Λ10_{\Lambda}^{10}Li by microscopic shell model

    Full text link
    We investigate the structure of the neutron-rich Λ\Lambda-hypernucleus Λ10_{\Lambda}^{10}Li by using microscopic shell-model calculations considering a Λ\Lambda-Σ\Sigma coupling effect. The calculated Σ\Sigma-mixing probability in the Λ10_{\Lambda}^{10}Li ground state is found to be about 0.34 % which is coherently enhanced by the Λ\Lambda-Σ\Sigma coupling configurations, leading to the energy shift 0.28 MeV which is about 3 times larger than that in Λ7_{\Lambda}^{7}Li. The importance of the Σ\Sigma configuration obtained by the ΣN\Sigma N interaction and the potentiality of the neutron-rich environment are discussed.Comment: 6 figure

    Hyperonic mixing in five-baryon double-strangeness hypernuclei in a two-channel treatment

    Full text link
    Properties of hypernuclei ΛΛ5_{\Lambda \Lambda}^5H and ΛΛ5_{\Lambda \Lambda }^5He 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 ΛΛ5_{\Lambda \Lambda}^5He exceeds significantly that in ΛΛ5_{\Lambda \Lambda}^5H 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.
