Brueckner theory is used to investigate the in-medium properties of a $\Lambda$-hyperon in nuclear and neutron matter, based on hyperon-nucleon interactions derived within SU(3) chiral effective field theory (EFT). It is shown that the…
The hypernucleus $\nuclide[6][\Lambda\Lambda]{He}$ is studied as a three-body ($\Lambda\Lambda\alpha$) cluster system in cluster effective field theory at leading order. We find that the three-body contact interaction exhibits the limit…
The self--energy of the strange baryon $\Lambda$ in $^{17}$O is calculated using a microscopic many--body approach which accounts for correlations beyond the mean--field or Hartree--Fock approximation. The non-locality and energy-dependence…
Terrestrial double-$\Lambda$ hypernuclear data and astronomical observations of neutron stars provide complementary constraints on the $\Lambda\Lambda$ interaction. In this work, we investigate the $\Lambda\Lambda$ interaction within a…
