A large number of hypernuclei, where a considerable fraction of nucleons is replaced by strange baryons, and even pure hyperonic species are expected to be bound. Though, the hypernuclear landscape remains largely unknown because of scarce…

Rapidity distributions of net hyperons ($\Lambda - \overline{\Lambda}$) are compared to distributions of participant protons ($p - \overline{p}$). Strangeness production (mean multiplicities of produced $\Lambda/\Sigma^0$ hyperons and…
The likely presence of $\Lambda$ baryons in dense hadronic matter tends to soften the equation of state to an extend that the observed heaviest neutron stars are difficult to explain. We analyze this "hyperon problem" with a…
We demonstrate the different effect of strange impurities ($\Lambda$ and $\Xi$) on the static properties of nuclei within the framework of the relativistic mean-field model. Systematic calculations show that the gluelike role of $\Lambda$…

Our current knowledge of the baryon--baryon interaction suggests that the dineutron $(n,n)$ and its strange analogue $(n,\Lambda)$ are unstable. In contrast, the situation is more favorable for the strange three-body system $(n,n,\Lambda)$,…
We study strangeness-changing response functions as an alternative description of hypernuclear structure. Hypernuclear states are treated in the same manner as any other conventional nuclear excitation that emerges from the response of the…
Formation mechanism of hyperfragments with strangeness s=-1 and s=-2 in collisions of antikaons on nuclei has been investigated within a microscopic transport model. Dynamics of pseudoscalar mesons and hyperons is modeled within the…
In a recent paper [PLB 837 (2023) 137669] we showed that all measured ($1s_\Lambda$, $1p_\Lambda$) pairs of $\Lambda$ binding energies in $\Lambda$-hypernuclei across the periodic table, $12\leq A \leq 208$, can be obtained from a…
Relativistic mean field calculations of multi-$\bar{K}$ hypernuclei are performed by adding $K^-$ mesons to particle-stable configurations of nucleons, $\Lambda$ and $\Xi$ hyperons. For a given hypernuclear core, the calculated $\bar{K}$…
Hypernuclei and hypernuclear matter connect nuclear structure in the strangeness sector with the astrophysics of neutron stars, where hyperons are expected to emerge at high densities and affect key astrophysical observables. We present the…
We investigate the properties of $\Lambda$ hyperon in $\Lambda$-hypernuclei using an effective nuclear density functional theory which is based on the low-energy effective field theory. It expands the energy density in the power of Fermi…
Within the microscopic transport, systematic investigation of the many facets of hyperons and hypernuclei up to strangeness $S = -2$ are carried out for $^{197}$Au + $^{197}$Au and $^{40}$Ca + $^{40}$Ca at the incident energy of $3A$ GeV.…
Pairing correlations play a very important role in atomic nuclei. Although several effective pairing interactions have been used in mean field calculations for nucleons, little is known about effective pairing interactions for hyperons.…
