$\Lambda NN$ content of $\Lambda$-nucleus potential

Nuclear Theory 2023-01-11 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

A minimally constructed Λ\Lambda-nucleus density-dependent optical potential is used to calculate binding energies of observed 1sΛ1s_{\Lambda}, 1pΛ1p_{\Lambda} states across the periodic table, leading to a repulsive ΛNN\Lambda NN contribution DΛ(3)14D_{\Lambda}^{(3)}\approx 14 MeV to the phenomenological Λ\Lambda-nucleus potential depth DΛ30D_{\Lambda}\approx -30 MeV. This value is significant in connection with the so-called 'hyperon puzzle'.
