Abstract:
The hypernuclei Λ4^4_\LambdaHe and Λ4^4_\LambdaH provide important information on the hyperon-nucleon interaction. We present accurate Faddeev-Yakubovsky calculations for the Λ\Lambda separation energies of the 0+0^+ ground and the 1+1^+ excited states based on the Nijmegen SC YN interactions. We explicitly take the Σ\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.
