Spectroscopy of Medium to Heavy Single Λ-Hypernuclei

We develop a method for calculating the doublet splittings of select ground-state single Λ-hypernuclei. This hypernuclear spectroscopy is conducted by supplementing the self-consistent single-particle equations with an effective interaction, which follows directly from the underlying lagrangian, to simulate the residual particlehole interaction. Our previous investigation, performed using only ...

Meson exchange in the weak decay of Λ hypernuclei and the Γ n / Γ p ratio

We take an approach to the Λ non-mesonic weak decay in nuclei based on the exchange of mesons. The one pion and one kaon exchange are considered, together with the exchange of two pions, either correlated, leading to an important scalar-isoscalar exchange (σ-like exchange), or uncorrelated (box diagrams). Constraints of chiral dynamics are used to generate these exchanges. A drastic reduction o...

Double Λ Hypernuclei and the Λ-λ Interaction. *

We approximate the double Λ hypernuclei by systems composed by two interacting Λ’s moving in the mean field potential created by the nuclear cores. The Λ-core potentials are adjusted to reproduce the binding energies of the corresponding single Λ hypernuclei [1]. A σ-ω meson exchange potential [2] is used for the Λ-Λ interaction. We apply both the Hartree-Fock (HF) and variational approximation...
