What Does Free Space Lambda-Lambda Interaction Predict for Lambda-Lambda Hypernuclei?

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v4

Abstract

Data on Lambda-Lambda hypernuclei provide a unique method to learn details on the strangeness S =-2 sector of the baryon-baryon interaction. From the free space Bonn-Julich potentials, determined from data on baryon-baryon scattering in the S=0,-1 channels, we construct an interaction in the S =-2 sector to describe the experimentally known Lambda-Lambda hypernuclei. After including short--range (Jastrow) and RPA correlations, we find masses for these Lambda-Lambda hypernuclei in a reasonable agreement with data, taking into account theoretical and experimental uncertainties. Thus, we provide a natural extension, at low energies, of the Bonn-Julich OBE potentials to the S =-2 channel.
