Old and New in Strangeness Nuclear Physics

Nuclear Theory 2019-08-06 v3 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

Several persistent problems in strangeness nuclear physics are discussed in this opening talk at HYP2018, Portsmouth-Norfolk VA, June 2018: (i) the Λ3^3_{\Lambda}H and Λ3^3_{\Lambda}n (if existing) lifetimes; (ii) charge symmetry breaking in Λ\Lambda hypernuclei; (iii) the overbinding of Λ5^5_{\Lambda}He which might be related to the hyperon puzzle in neutron stars; and (iv) does Λ\Lambda^\ast(1405) survive in strange hadronic matter?
