The hypernuclei $^4_\Lambda$He and $^4_\Lambda$H provide important information on the hyperon-nucleon interaction. We present accurate Faddeev-Yakubovsky calculations for the $\Lambda$ separation energies of the $0^+$ ground and the $1^+$…
We show that for ultra-cold neutral bosonic atoms held in a three-dimensional periodic potential or optical lattice, a Hubbard model with dominant, attractive three-body interactions can be generated. In fact, we derive that the effect of…
{\bf Background} Deuteron induced reactions are widely used to probe nuclear structure and astrophysical information. Those (d,p) reactions may be viewed as three-body reactions and described with Faddeev techniques. {\bf Purpose}…
Atom scattering is becoming recognized as a sensitive probe of the electron-phonon interaction parameter $\lambda$ at metal and metal-overlayer surfaces. Here, the theory is developed linking $\lambda$ to the thermal attenuation of atom…
We study single-particle potential of Lambda, Sigma, and Xi hyperons in nucleonic matter starting from the fundamental theory of the strong interaction, QCD. First we carry out a lattice QCD numerical simulation, and extract baryon-baryon…
We investigate low-energy $N\phi$ scattering driven by a pole-enhanced triangle-like diagram, in which the two-Kaon-exchange contribution is promoted by the near-threshold $\Lambda(1405)$ pole in the $N\bar K$ subsystem. Using an unphysical…
The optical potential of halo and weakly bound nuclei has a long range part due to the coupling to breakup that damps the elastic scattering angular distributions at all angles for which the effect of the nuclear interaction is felt. In…
We employ the chiral nucleon-nucleon potential derived using the method of unitary transformation up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) to study bound and scattering states in the two-nucleon system. The predicted partial wave phase…
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…
Separation energies of light $\Lambda$ hypernuclei ($A\leq 5$) and their theoretical uncertainties are investigated. Few-body calculations are performed within the Faddeev-Yakubovsky scheme and the no-core shell model. Thereby, modern and…
Four-body equations in momentum space are solved for neutron-$\He$, proton-$\Hh$, and deuteron-deuteron scattering; all three reactions are coupled. The Coulomb interaction between the protons is included using the screening and…
The relativistic properties of the three-nucleon system are investigated using the Faddeev equations within the Bethe-Salpeter approach. The nucleon-nucleon interaction is chosen in a separable form. The Gauss quadrature method is used to…
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…
$\Kbar N$ interactions are investigated {\it via} an effective non-linear chiral meson-baryon Lagrangian. The adjustable parameters are determined by a fitting procedure on the $K^-p$ threshold branching ratios and total cross-section data…
We propose a systematic T-matrix approach to solve few-body problems with s-wave contact interactions in ultracold atomic gases. The problem is generally reduced to a matrix equation expanded by a set of orthogonal molecular states,…
A new analysis method to investigate halos in finite many-fermion systems is designed, as existing characterization methods are proven to be incomplete/inaccurate. A decomposition of the internal wave-function of the {$N$-body} system in…
The three-nucleon bound and scattering equations are solved in momentum space for a coupled-channel Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian couples the purely nucleonic sector of Hilbert space with a sector in which one nucleon is excited to a…
A complete high precision set of deuteron analyzing powers for elastic deuteron-proton ($dp$) scattering at 250 MeV/nucleon (MeV/N) has been measured. The new data are presented together with data from previous measurements at 70, 100, 135…
Heavy-ion collisions provide a unique opportunity to explore nucleon-hyperon (N-Y) interactions through two-particle correlations. The $p-\Lambda$ and $d-\Lambda$ correlations shed light on both N-Y two-body and N-N-Y three-body…
\noindent{\bf Background:} Deuteron-induced nuclear reactions are an essential tool for probing the structure of nuclei as well as astrophysical information such as $(n,\gamma)$ cross sections. The deuteron-nucleus system is typically…
