Abstract

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 28,30,32^{28,30,32}Si disappears when a Λ\Lambda 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 30^{30}Si does not completely disappear, even though it is somewhat reduced, after a Λ\Lambda particle is added if the beyond-mean-field effect is taken into account. We also discuss the impurity effect of Λ\Lambda particle on the electric quadrupole transition, and show that an addition of a Λ\Lambda particle leads to a reduction in the B(E2)B(E2) value, as a consequence of the reduction in the deformation parameter.
