In-medium $\Lambda$ isospin impurity from charge symmetry breaking in the ${_{\Lambda}^4}{\rm H}-{_{\Lambda}^4}{\rm He}$ mirror hypernuclei
Abstract
The separation energies in the mirror hypernuclei exhibit large charge symmetry breaking (CSB). Analyzing this CSB within pionless effective field theory while using partially conserved baryon-baryon SU(3) flavor symmetry, we deduce a induced in-medium admixture amplitude in the dominantly isospin hyperon. Our results confirm the free-space value inferred directly within the SU(3) baryon octet by Dalitz and von-Hippel in 1964 and reaffirmed in a recent QCD+QED lattice calculation. Furthermore, exploring the consequences of SU(3) flavor symmetry on the -nucleon interaction, we find that CSB is expected to impact the and spin channels in opposite directions, with the latter dominating by an order of magnitude. These observations explain a recent deduction of -nucleon CSB strengths.
