Abstract: (IOP)
The Ξ-nuclear potential is investigated in the quark mean-field (QMF) model based on recent results on the Ξ^{−} + 14^{14}N () system. The experimental data on the binding energy of 1p-state Ξ^{−} hyperon in hypernuclei in KISO, IBUKI, E07-T011, E176-14-03-35 events are merged as MeV. With this constraint, the coupling strengths between the ω vector meson and Ξ hyperon are fixed in three QMF parameter sets. At the same time, the Ξ^{−} binding energy of 1s state in is predicted as MeV with the same interactions, completely consistent with the data from the KINKA and IRRAWADDY events. Finally, the Ξ-nuclear potential is calculated in the symmetric nuclear matter in the same framework. It is found to be U Ξ_{Ξ} = −11.96 ± 0.85 MeV at nuclear saturation density, which is important for the discussions of the role of strangeness in a neutron star.
