Abstract

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 ΛN\Lambda N channels is shown to reproduce well the experimental Λ\Lambda 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 2M2M_{\odot} even in the case of including hyperon mixing on the basis of model-parameters determined by terrestrial experiments.
