Abstract

Within the framework of the Faddeev equations we demonstrate that a ΛΛΞN\Lambda\Lambda-\Xi N interaction that gives a ΛΛ\Lambda\Lambda scattering length comparable to the nnnn scattering length, and the binding energy of ΛΛ 6^{\ 6}_{\Lambda\Lambda}He as an αΛΛαΞN\alpha\Lambda\Lambda-\alpha\Xi N system, produces a final state interaction peak in the neutron spectrum for the reaction ΞdnΛΛ\Xi^- d \to n\Lambda\Lambda. This suggests that this reaction could be used to constrain the ΛΛ\Lambda\Lambda scattering length.
