Extended-soft-core Baryon-Baryon Model II. Hyperon-Nucleon Interaction
The YN results are presented from the Extended-soft-core (ESC) interactions.
They consist of local- and non-local-potentials due to (i) One-boson-exchange
(OBE), with pseudoscalar-, vector-, scalar-, and axial-vector-nonets, (ii)
Diffractive exchanges, (iii) Two-pseudoscalar exchange, and (iv)
Meson-pair-exchange (MPE). This model, called ESC04, describes NN and YN in a
unified way using broken flavor SU(3)-symmetry. Novel ingredients are the
inclusion of (i) the axial-vector-mesons, (ii) a zero in the scalar- and
axial-vector meson form factors. We describe simultaneous fits to the NN- and
YN-data, using four options in the ESC-model. Very good fits were obtained.
G-matrix calculations with these four options are also reported. The obtained
well depths (U_\Lambda, U_\Sigma, U_\Xi) reveal distinct features of ESC04a-d.
The \Lambda\Lambda-interactions are demonstrated to be consistent with the
observed data of_{\Lambda\Lambda}^6He. The possible three-body effects are
investigated by considering phenomenologically the changes of the vector-meson
masses in a nuclear medium.Comment: preprint vesion 66 pages, two-column version 27 pages, 17 figure
Hyperon mixing and universal many-body repulsion in neutron stars
A multi-pomeron exchange potential (MPP) is proposed as a model for the
universal many-body repulsion in baryonic systems on the basis of the Extended
Soft Core (ESC) bryon-baryon interaction. The strength of MPP is determined by
analyzing the nucleus-nucleus scattering with the G-matrix folding model. The
interaction in channels is shown to reproduce well the experimental
binding energies. The equation of state (EoS) in neutron matter with
hyperon mixing is obtained including the MPP contribution, and mass-radius
relations of neutron stars are derived. It is shown that the maximum mass can
be larger than the observed one even in the case of including
hyperon mixing on the basis of model-parameters determined by terrestrial
experiments
Light hypernuclei in four-body cluster models
Detailed structure calculations in Be, H,
Li, H and Li are performed
within the framework of the microscopic two-, three- and four-body cluster
models using the Gaussian Expansion Method.Comment: 14 pages, 19 figures. To be published in Phys. Rev.
Four-body structure of Li and spin-dependent interaction
Two spin-doublet states of %- and - in
Li are studied on the basis of the
four-body model. We employ the two-body interactions which reproduce the
observed properties of any subsystems composed of ,
and , and . Furthermore, the
interaction is adjusted so as to reproduce the - splitting of in
H. The calculated energy splittings of - and
- states in Li are 0.69 MeV and 0.46 MeV, which are
in good agreement with the resent observed data. The spin-dependent components
of the interaction are discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, published to be in Phys. Rev.
Neutron-star radii based on realistic nuclear interactions
The existence of neutron stars with requires the strong stiffness
of the equation of state (EoS) of neutron-star matter. We introduce a
multi-pomeron exchange potential (MPP) working universally among 3- and
4-baryons to stiffen the EoS. Its strength is restricted by analyzing the
nucleus-nucleus scattering with the G-matrix folding model. The EoSs are
derived using the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) and the cluster variational
method (CVM) with the nuclear interactions ESC and AV18. The mass-radius
relations are derived by solving the Tolmann-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV)
equation, where the maximum masses over are obtained on the basis of
the terrestrial data. Neutron-star radii at a typical mass are
predicted to be km. The uncertainty of calculated radii is
mainly from the ratio of 3- and 4-pomeron coupling constants, which cannot be
fixed by any terrestrial experiment. Though values of are not
influenced by hyperon-mixing effects, finely-observed values for them indicate
degrees of EoS softening by hyperon mixing in the region of
. If is less than about 12.4 km, the
softening of EoS by hyperon mixing has to be weak. Useful information can be
expected by the space mission NICER offering precise measurements for
neutron-star radii within .Comment: 8 pages, 7 figure
Interactions between Octet Baryons in the SU_6 Quark model
The baryon-baryon interactions for the complete baryon octet (B_8) are
investigated in a unified framework of the resonating-group method, in which
the spin-flavor SU_6 quark-model wave functions are employed. Model parameters
are determined to reproduce properties of the nucleon-nucleon system and the
low-energy cross section data for the hyperon-nucleon interaction. We then
proceed to explore B_8 B_8 interactions in the strangeness S=-2, -3 and -4
sectors. The S-wave phase-shift behavior and total cross sections are
systematically understood by 1) the spin-flavor SU_6 symmetry, 2) the special
role of the pion exchange, and 3) the flavor symmetry breaking.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. C (Rapid Communication
Light Lambda-Lambda Hypernuclei and the Onset of Stability for Lambda-Xi Hypernuclei
New Faddeev-Yakubovsky calculations for light Lambda-Lambda hypernuclei are
presented in order to assess the self consistency of the Lambda-Lambda
hypernuclear binding-energy world data and the implied strength of the
Lambda-Lambda interaction, in the wake of recent experimental reports on
Lambda-Lambda-4H and Lambda-Lambda-6He. Using Gaussian soft-core simulations of
Nijmegen one-boson-exchange model interactions, the Nijmegen soft-core model
NSC97 simulations are found close to reproducing the recently reported binding
energy of Lambda-Lambda-6He, but not those of other species. For stranger
systems, Faddeev calculations of light Lambda-Xi hypernuclei, using a
simulation of the strongly attractive Lambda-Xi interactions due to the same
model, suggest that Lambda-Xi-6He marks the onset of nuclear stability for Xi
hyperons.Comment: 5 pages, 3 postscript figures; fig.2 replaced, minor changes,
