S-shell $\Lambda\Lambda$ hypernuclei based on chiral interactions

Abstract

We generalize the Jacobi no-core shell model (J-NCSM) to study double-strangeness hypernuclei. All particle conversions in the strangeness S=1,2S=-1,-2 sectors are explicitly taken into account. In two-body space, such transitions may lead to the coupling between states of identical particles and of non-identical ones. Therefore, a careful consideration is required when determining the combinatorial factors that connect the many-body potential matrix elements and the free-space two-body potentials. Using second quantization, we systematically derive the combinatorial factors in question for S=0,1,2S=0,-1,-2 sectors. As a first application, we use the J-NCSM to investigate ΛΛ\Lambda \Lambda s-shell hypernuclei based on hyperon-hyperon (YY) potentials derived within chiral effective field theory at leading order (LO) and up to next-to-leading order (NLO). We find that the LO potential overbinds ΛΛ   6He^{\text{ }\text{ }\text{ } \text{}6}_{\Lambda \Lambda}\text{He} while the prediction of the NLO interaction is close to experiment. Both interactions also yield a bound state for ΛΛ   5He^{\text{ }\text{ }\text{ } \text{}5}_{\Lambda \Lambda}\text{He}. The ΛΛ  4H^{\text{}\text{ }\text{ }\text{}4}_{\Lambda \Lambda}\text{H} system is predicted to be unbound.
