It has been shown experimentally that the $^6$Li nucleus shrinks by adding a $\Lambda$ particle while its spectrum is also compressed. We discuss the compatibility of these two effects, contrasting also with a relation between the shrinkage…
The interaction of $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ hyperons (Y) with nucleons (N) is strongly influenced by the coupled-channel dynamics. Due to the small mass difference of the $\rm N \Lambda$ and $\rm N \Sigma$ systems, the sizeable coupling…
The electroproduction of selected $p$- and $sd$-shell hypernuclei was studied within a many-body approach using realistic interactions between the constituent baryons. The cross sections were computed in distorted-wave impulse approximation…
We first determine the Lambda-N S-wave phase shifts so as to reproduce the experimental Lambda separation energies of A=3, 4 Lambda-hypernuclei, and then construct three phase-equivalent Lambda-N potentials with different central repulsion.…
The $S$-wave $\Lambda\Lambda$ and $N \Xi$ interactions are studied on the basis of the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations close to the physical point ($m_\pi \simeq 146{\rm{MeV}}$ and $m_K \simeq 525{\rm{MeV}}$). Lattice QCD potentials in…
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…
A microscopic description of nuclei is important to understand the nuclear shell-model from fundamental principles. This is difficult to achieve for more than the lightest nuclei without an effective approximation scheme. The purpose of…
Variational calculations for s-shell hypernuclei are performed by explicitly including $\Sigma$ degrees of freedom. Four sets of YN interactions (SC97d(S), SC97e(S), SC97f(S) and SC89(S)) are used. The bound-state solution of $_\Lambda^5$He…
A detailed comparison is made between the spin-orbit interactions in $\Lambda$ hypernuclei and ordinary nuclei. We argue that there are three major contributions to the spin-orbit interaction: 1) a short-range component involving scalar and…
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…
We discuss charge symmetry breaking in the $\Lambda N$ interaction. In order to investigate the $\Lambda p$ and $\Lambda n$ interactions at low energies, we propose to utilize the $K^-d\to \pi^-\Lambda p$ and $K^-d\to \pi^0\Lambda n$…
The $\Lambda^{\ast}$-hypernuclei, which are bound states of $\Lambda(1405)$ and nuclei, are discussed as a possible interpretation of the $\bar{K}$-nuclei. The Bonn and Nijmegen potentials are extended and used as a phenomenological…
(Pseudo)spin symmetries play vital roles in nuclear physics and have been studied extensively in spherical nuclei. In this work, possible spin and pseudospin symmetries in deformed nuclei are examined by solving a coupled-channel Dirac…
By combining the ($u$,$d$) I-spin doublets or ($d$,$s$) U-spin doublets, the SU(3) flavor symmetry of light quarks can be decomposed into SU(2)$_I\times$U(1)$_Y$ or SU(2)$_U\times$U(1)$_Q$ subgroups, which have been widely adopted to…
The energy spacing between the ground-state spin doublet of $^4_\Lambda $He(1$^+$,0$^+$) was determined to be $1406 \pm 2 \pm 2$ keV, by measuring $\gamma$ rays for the $1^+ \to 0^+$ transition with a high efficiency germanium detector…
We perform three-body model calculations for a $sd$-shell hypernucleus $^{19}_{\Lambda}$F ($^{17}_{\Lambda}{\rm O}+p+n$) and its core nucleus $^{18}$F ($^{16}{\rm O}+p+n$), employing a density-dependent contact interaction between the…
