Abstract

The structure of single-Λ\Lambda hypernuclei is studied using the chiral hyperon-nucleon potentials derived at leading order (LO) and next-to-leading order (NLO) by the J\"{u}lich--Bonn--Munich group. Results for the separation energies of Λ\Lambda single-particle states for various hypernuclei from Λ5^5_{\Lambda}He to Λ209^{209}_{\,\,\,\,\,\Lambda}Pb are presented for the LO interaction and the 2013 (NLO13) and 2019 (NLO19) versions of the NLO potentials. It is found that the results based on the LO potential show a clear tendency for overbinding while those for the NLO13 interaction underbind most of the considered hypernuclei. A qualitatively good agreement with the data is obtained for the NLO19 interaction over a fairly large range of mass number values when considering the uncertainty due to the regulator dependence. A small spin-orbit splitting of the pp-, dd-, ff-, and gg-wave states is predicted by all interactions, in line with the rather small values observed in pertinent experiments.
