Bound States of $\Omega$ Baryons in Light Nuclei
Abstract
We investigate bound states of light -clusters (), motivated by the potential recently developed by the HAL QCD collaboration. To regularize this potential, we remove the deeply attractive core at and parametrize the long-range component () using a two-range Gaussian form. This procedure preserves the relevant two-body bound state energy while having a negligible effect on the and systems. An effective potential is then constructed by fitting a two-range Gaussian function to the long-range component of the folding potential, enabling calculations of the bound state energies of the , , and systems. The regularization procedure leads to a substantial reduction in bound state energies compared to those obtained with the original potential. We further extend the analysis to -cluster systems by introducing an interaction, derived by comparing the existing and potentials. Our results suggest that several parametrizations predict bound states in -containing clusters. Finally, the interaction is described using a contact-like potential approach, motivated by the effective field theory.
