Relativistic Mean-Field and Beyond Approaches for Deformed Hypernuclei
We report the recent progress in relativistic mean-field (RMF) and beyond
approaches for the low-energy structure of deformed hypernuclei. We show that
the hyperon with orbital angular momentum (or )
generally reduces (enhances) nuclear quadrupole collectivity. The beyond
mean-field studies of hypernuclear low-lying states demonstrate that there is
generally a large configuration mixing between the two components and in the hypernuclear states. The mixing weight
increases as the collective correlation of nuclear core becomes stronger.
Finally, we show how the energies of hypernuclear low-lying states are
sensitive to parameters in the effective interaction, the
uncertainty of which has a large impact on the predicted maximal mass of
neutron stars.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures. A plenary talk given at the 13th International

Disappearance of nuclear deformation in hypernuclei: a perspective from a beyond-mean-field study
The previous mean-field calculation [Myaing Thi Win and K. Hagino, Phys. Rev.
C{\bf 78}, 054311 (2008)] has shown that the oblate deformation in
Si disappears when a particle is added to these nuclei.
We here investigate this phenomenon by taking into account the effects beyond
the mean-field approximation. To this end, we employ the microscopic
particle-rotor model based on the covariant density functional theory. We show
that the deformation of Si does not completely disappear, even though it
is somewhat reduced, after a particle is added if the
beyond-mean-field effect is taken into account. We also discuss the impurity
effect of particle on the electric quadrupole transition, and show
that an addition of a particle leads to a reduction in the
value, as a consequence of the reduction in the deformation parameter.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. The version to appear in Phys. Rev.
