Why to study deformations of hypernuclei

Many p-shell and sd-shell nuclei are deformed.

For example, experimentally, 10B and 11C have large quadrupole moments.

F. Ajzenberg-Selove, Nucl. Phys. A490, 1 (1988); A506, 1(1990).

Also, 8Be is known to be strongly deformed due to its double-α structure.

Several models for deformed nuclei

Projected shell model (PSM)

Extended DSHF including hyperon-nucleon interaction

Total energy of a hypernucleus in extended DSHF:

where the energy density

SHF

Due to the YN force,

DSHF + YN interaction:

The energy density functional εNΛ is obtained from a fit to the binding energy per baryon, B/A(ρn, ρp, ρ), of asymmetric hypermatter, as generated by BHF calculations.

In practice we use the following parametrizations:

3. Energy spectrum of hypernulcei

The SHF models can just give the single-particle energies and ground state of Λ hypernuclei in intrinsic frame of reference.

The conservation of particle number is destroyed by BCS method.

The study of the gamma spectra and electromagnetic transitions needs symmetry restoration.

Limitations of extended SHF+BCS method:

Angular momentum and particle-number projection (AMP&PNP) are needed !

Exp data in W.u. from:http://www.nndc.bnl.gov The B(E2) transitions of hypernuclei become a little

smaller due to the shrinkage of the quadruple shape.

Summary

1.The DSHF was extended to hypernuclei by including a microscopically derived hyperon- nucleon interaction.

3. Due to the effect of hyperons, the nuclei close to the drip line are stabilized and new isotopes are potentially made available.

2.The calculated core nuclei and the corresponding hypernuclei have similar deformations with the same sign when the core nuclei are well deformed.

4. The projected SHF+BCS model gives reasonable initial results of energy spectra and E2 transition rates for well-deformed sd-shell nuclei and hypernuclei .
