Strange hadronic matter

Abstract: (Elsevier)
Recent investigations of regions of stability for multi-strange hadronic systems, made up of nucleons and hyperons {p, n, Λ, Ξ 0 , Ξ − }, are reviewed. Relativistic mean field calculations, designed to reproduce the observed binding energies of ordinary nuclei and of Λ, Ξ and ΛΛ hypernuclei, predict a large class of such objects which are stable against strong decay, including the bulk limit A → ∞, with binding energies per baryon as large as E B A ∼ −22 MeV , large strangeness per baryon f s ∼ 1–1.2, small charge per baryon f q ∼ −0.1 to 0 and with baryon densities 2–3 times that of ordinary nuclear matter. A straightforward extension of the Bethe-Weizsäcker mass formula into the strange domain accounts satisfactorily for all of these features.- talk: Vancouver 1994/07/04
