SU(3)_f Constraints on Hypernuclear Energy Density Functionals

Nuclear Theory 2022-11-30 v1

Abstract

A covariant hyper-nuclear energy density functional (EDF) is derived from in medium nucleon meson vertex functionals, assuring the proper description of nuclear mean-field dynamics. The fundamental SU(3) coupling constants for the mean-field relevant vector (m=V) and scalar (m=S) interactions as functionals of the total baryon density are determined. Scalar and vector potentials and the resulting hyperon mean-fields in asymmetric nuclear matter are constructed and discussed, addressing also effects from three-body interactions. \Lambda- \Sigma^0 mixing in asymmetric nuclear through the coupling to the background isovector mean-field is addressed.
