Self-energy of Lambda in finite nuclei

Abstract

The self--energy of the strange baryon $\Lambda$ in ${}^{17}$O is calculated using a microscopic many--body approach which accounts for correlations beyond the mean--field or Hartree--Fock approximation. The non-locality and energy-dependence of the $\Lambda$ self--energy is discussed and the effects on the bound and scattering states are investigated. For the nucleon--hyperon interaction, we use the potential models of the Jülich and Nijmegen groups.
