S= -1 Hypernuclear Structure

In-medium Λ interactions and hypernuclear structure

We study the interactions of the octet baryons in a relativistic meson exchange approach connecting freespace and in-medium interactions with those in finite (hyper)nuclei. Our approach is based on the covariant meson exchange framework. To generate the effective microscopic interaction in finite nuclei an approach using Tmatrix theory with a three dimensionally reduced twonucleon propagator is...

Hypernuclear structure with the new Nijmegen potentials

We perform continuous-choice Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations of hypernuclear matter, using the recent Nijmegen potentials for hyperon-nucleon and hyperon-hyperon interactions. Single-particle observables of the various hyperons in bulk matter, as well as properties of singleand double-lambda hypernuclei, employing an extended Skyrme-Hartree-Fock scheme, are presented. We find that the poten...

In-Medium Baryon Interactions and Hypernuclear Structure

We introduce a microscopic and relativistic theory describing free scattering and finite nuclei for the octet baryons in a consistent quantum field theoretical framework based on Dirac-Brueckner theory and nuclear mean-field. In a first quantitative approach yet still heuristic for dealing with the Λ hyperon the quality of the description of finite (hyper)nuclei based on free meson exchange pot...

Hypernuclear structure with the Nijmegen ESC08 potentials

Strangeness-changing response functions: an alternative approach to hypernuclear structure

We study strangeness-changing response functions as an alternative description of hypernuclear structure. Hypernuclear states are treated in the same manner as any other conventional nuclear excitation that emerges from the response of the nuclear ground state to an external probe. The nuclear response is calculated using a random-phase approximation to an effective relativistic mean-field mode...
