Abstract: (Elsevier)
Extensive results, obtained in the G -matrix approximation for a wide range of central ΛN Yukawa potentials both with hard cores (HC) and soft repulsive cores, are presented for the Λ well depth (binding energy of a Λ-particle in nuclear matter) and related quantities. The HC results, in particular, span a wide range of scattering lengths a , effective ranges r 0 and hard-core radii c , sufficient to include any potentials likely to be proposed. The s-state well depth D s is to a good approximation determined by a , r 0 and the s-state correlation volume (wound integral) κ s NM which characterizes the core in an effectively shape-independent way. The depth D s decreases with κ s NM for given a , r 0 . A successful search was made for a “scattering” parameter κ s SC which also characterizes the core in a shape-independent way but which is determined only by (low-energy) s-wave scattering calculations; κ s SC is the (zero-energy) scattering correlation volume up to the separation distance d . The parameterization of D s in terms of a , r 0 and κ s SC is then effectively universal for local potentials, permitting one to obtain D s for any reasonable local potential by use only of s-wave scattering calculations. The p-wave depth D p is generally quite large with only a moderate dependence on c for given a and r 0 but a strong dependence on r 0 . The p-wave correlation volume is not a useful shape-independent parameter for D p . The d-wave depth is quite small although not negligible. Limited results are obtained for the dependence on density. The implications of a comparison of the calculated and the phenomenological well depths for the ΛN interaction are discussed.- nucleon lambda: interaction
