Abstract

The ΛΛ  4{}_{\Lambda\Lambda}^{\ \ 4}H bound state and the SS-wave hypertriton(Λ3{}_\Lambda^{ \, 3}H)-Λ\Lambda scattering in spin singlet and triplet channels below the hypertriton breakup momentum scale are studied in halo/cluster effective field theory at leading order by treating the ΛΛ  4{}_{\Lambda\Lambda}^{\ \ 4}H system as a three-cluster (Λ\Lambda-Λ\Lambda-deuteron) system. In the spin singlet channel, the amplitude is insensitive to the cutoff parameter Λc\Lambda_c introduced in the integral equation, and we find that there is no bound state. In this case, the scattering length of the hypertriton-Λ\Lambda scattering is found to be a0=16.0±3.0a_0^{} = 16.0\pm 3.0 fm. In the spin triplet channel, however, the amplitude obtained by the coupled integral equations is sensitive to Λc\Lambda_c, and we introduce the three-body contact interaction g1(Λc)g_1^{} (\Lambda_c). After phenomenologically fixing g1(Λc)g_1^{} (\Lambda_c), we find that the correlation between the two-Λ\Lambda separation energy BΛΛB_{\Lambda\Lambda} from the ΛΛ  4_{\Lambda\Lambda}^{\ \ 4}H bound state and the scattering length aΛΛa_{\Lambda\Lambda}^{} of the SS-wave Λ\Lambda-Λ\Lambda scattering is significantly sensitive to the value of Λc\Lambda_c.
