Constraints on the $\Lambda$-neutron interaction from charge symmetry breaking in the $\mathbf{^4_\Lambda \rm \bf He}$--$\mathbf{^4_\Lambda \rm \bf H}$ hypernuclei
Abstract
We utilize the experimentally known difference of the separation energies of the mirror hypernuclei and to constrain the -neutron interaction. We include the leading charge-symmetry breaking (CSB) interaction into our hyperon-nucleon interaction derived within chiral effective field theory at next-to-leading order. In particular, we determine the strength of the two arising CSB contact terms by a fit to the differences of the separation energies of these hypernuclei in the and states, respectively. By construction, the resulting interaction describes all low energy hyperon-nucleon scattering data, the hypertriton and the CSB in - accurately. This allows us to provide first predictions for the n scattering lengths, based solely on available hypernuclear data.
