We address the $\Lambda$-hypernuclear `overbinding problem' in light hypernuclei which stands for a 1--3 MeV excessive $\Lambda$ separation energy calculated in $_{\Lambda}^5$He. This problem arises in most few-body calculations that…

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.…

Leveraging complementary machine-learning-based approaches, we compute properties of $s$- and $p$-shell $\Lambda$ hypernuclei - including binding energies, single-particle densities, and radii - starting from the individual interactions…

We present an effective field theory (EFT) at leading order to describe light single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei. Owing to the weak $\Lambda$ binding and to the $\Lambda N$ short interaction range, meson exchange forces are approximated by…
