Abstract

We investigate the in-medium properties of hyperons and anti-hyperons in the framework of the Non-Linear Derivative (NLD) model. We focus on the momentum dependence of in-medium strangeness optical potentials. The NLD model is based on the simplicity of the well-established Relativistic Mean-Field (RMF) approximation, but it incorporates an explicit momentum dependence on a field-theoretical level. The extension of the NLD model to the (anti)baryon-octet is formulated in the spirit of SU(6) and G-parity arguments. It is shown that with an appropriate choice of momentum cut-offs the Λ\Lambda, Σ\Sigma and Ξ\Xi optical potentials are consistent with recent studies of the chiral effective field theory and Lattice-QCD calculations over a wide momentum region. In addition, we present NLD predictions for the in-medium momentum dependence of Λ\overline{\Lambda}-, Σ\overline{\Sigma}- and Ξ\overline{\Xi}-hyperons. This work is important for future experimental studies such as CBM, PANDA at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). It is relevant for nuclear astrophysics too.
