$\Lambda$$\Lambda$ interactions in finite-density QCD sum rules

Abstract

The properties of Λ\Lambda-hyperons in pure Λ\Lambda matter are studied with the finite-density QCD sum rule approach. The first order quark and gluon condensates in Λ\Lambda nuclear matter are deduced from the chiral perturbation theory. The sum rule predictions are sensitive to the four-quark condensates, <qˉq>ρ2<\bar{q}q>^2_{\rho} and <qˉq>ρ<sˉs>ρ<\bar{q}q>_{\rho}<\bar{s}s>_{\rho}, and the πN\pi N sigma term. When <qˉq>ρ2<\bar{q}q>^2_{\rho} is nearly independent of density and <qˉq>ρ<sˉs>ρ<\bar{q}q>_{\rho}<\bar{s}s>_{\rho} depends strongly on density, we can obtain weakly attractive Λ\LambdaΛ\Lambda potentials (about several MeV) in low Λ\Lambda density region, which agree with the information from the latest double Λ\Lambda hyper-nucleus experiments. The nearly no density dependence of <qˉq>ρ2<\bar{q}q>^2_{\rho} and strong density dependence of <qˉq>ρ<sˉs>ρ<\bar{q}q>_{\rho}<\bar{s}s>_{\rho} can be explained naturally if the properties of <qˉq>ρ2<\bar{q}q>^2_{\rho} and <qˉq>ρ<sˉs>ρ<\bar{q}q>_{\rho}<\bar{s}s>_{\rho} are assumed to be similar to those of ππ\pi\pi and KˉK\bar{K} K in nuclear medium, respectively.
