Abstract

The Λ\Lambda and Σ\Sigma directed flows at sNN=4.5 GeV\sqrt{s_{NN}}=4.5~\mathrm{GeV} are investigated to examine their sensitivity to the hyperon single-particle potentials. The single-particle potentials are obtained from GG-matrix calculations with two- and three-body forces based on SU(3) chiral effective field theory. The Λ+Σ0\Lambda+\Sigma^0 directed flow shows sensitivity to the variation in the Σ\Sigma single-particle potential. Its effect is more pronounced for the Σ0\Sigma^0 directed flow.
