Variational study of Light Hypernuclei

Abstract

The real nature of nucleon-hyperon and hyperon-hyperon interaction is best understood by theoretical study of single lambda hypernuclei. Variational Monte-Carlo calculations have been done on some light lambda hypernuclei using realistic NN, NNN ; phenomenological {\Lambda}N and {\Lambda}NN interactions. The results obtained for different interactions show the role of {\Lambda}N and {\Lambda}NN interactions. These interactions have been found to be important for the stability of the hypernuclear systems.
