The hypernuclei Λ4He and Λ4H:: Challenges for modern hyperon-nucleon forces -: art. no. 172501

The hypernuclei He-4(Lambda) and H-4(Lambda) provide important information on the hyperon-nucleon interaction. We present accurate Faddeev-Yakubovsky calculations for the Lambda separation energies of the 0(+) ground and the 1(+) excited states based on the Nijmegen SC YN interactions. We explicitly take the Sigma admixture into account. Mass differences of the baryons and the charge dependence of the interaction are considered. The results show that the Nijmegen models cannot predict all separation energies simultaneously hinting to failures of the current interaction models. It is pointed out that the differences of the Lambda separation energies of He-4(Lambda) and H-4(Lambda) are interesting observables to probe the YN interaction models.
