The structure of neutron-rich $\Lambda$ hypernucleus, $^7_{\Lambda}$He is studied within the framework of an $\alpha +\Lambda +n+n$ four-body cluster model. We predict second $3/2^+$ and $5/2^+$ states, corresponding to a $0s$ $\Lambda$…
An accurate assessment of the hyperon-nucleon interaction is of great interest in view of recent observations of very massive neutron stars. The challenge is to build a realistic interaction that can be used over a wide range of masses and…
A study of light $\Lambda$ hypernuclei in chiral effective field theory is presented. For the first time chiral $\Lambda$NN and $\Sigma$NN three-body forces are included consistently. The calculations are performed within the no-core shell…
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…
The main open problem in the physics of Lambda-hypernuclei is the lack of a sound theoretical interpretation of the large experimental values for the ratio G_n/G_p. To approach the problem, we have incorporated a Lambda N-> nN…
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…

The $\Lambda$ separation energy for $\Lambda$-hypernuclei, denoted $B_\Lambda$, measured in 1967, 1968, and 1973 are recalibrated using the current best mass estimates for particles and nuclei. The recalibrated $B_\Lambda$ are…
With an appropriate $YNN$ force, the $\Lambda$ single-particle potential ($\Lambda$ potential) can be made strongly repulsive at high density, and one can solve the hyperon puzzle of neutron stars. We investigate the consistency of such a…
We study the shape of $\Lambda$ hypernuclei in the full ($\beta,\gamma$) deformation plane, including both axially symmetric and triaxial quadrupole deformations. To this end, we use the constrained Skyrme Hartree-Fock+BCS method on the…
The hyperon potential, particularly its behavior at high densities, is crucial for resolving the ``hyperon puzzle'' in neutron stars and for advancing our understanding of the strong interactions between strange and non-strange particles in…
Stimulated by recent indications that the binding energy of the hypertriton could be significantly larger than so far assumed, requirements of a more strongly bound $^3_\Lambda {\rm H}$ state for the hyperon-nucleon interaction and…
We extend our Skyrme-Hartree-Fock (SHF) approach, which was used earlier to describe successfully the single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei, to investigate the binding and the $\Lambda \Lambda$ bond energies of the double-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei. The…
Variational Monte Carlo study has been done for the two hypernuclear systems $_\Lambda^4$H and $_\Lambda^4$H$^*$ for calculation of binding energies. For the two hypernuclear systems under study, different potential models have been used…

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.…
