Hyperon-nucleon interaction and baryonic contact terms in SU(3) chiral effective field theory

Nuclear Theory 2013-12-17 v1

Abstract

In this proceeding we summarize results for baryonic contact terms derived within SU(3) chiral effective field theory. The four-baryon contact terms, necessary for the description of the hyperon-nucleon interaction, include SU(3) symmetric and explicit chiral symmetry breaking terms. They also include four-baryon contact terms involving pseudoscalar mesons, which become important for three-body forces. Furthermore we derive the leading order six-baryon contact terms in the non-relativistic limit and study their contribution to the ΛNN\Lambda NN three-body contact interaction. These results could play an important role in studies of hypernuclei or hyperons in nuclear matter.
