With the alternated mass number or isospin of hypernuclei, such effects may be unveiled by analyzing the systematic evolution of the bulk and single-particle properties. From a density-dependent meson-nucleon/hyperon coupling perspective, a new ΛN effective interaction in the covariant density functional(CDF) theory, namely, DD-LZ1-Λ1, is obtained by fitting the experimental data ofΛ separation energies for several single-Λ hypernuclei. It is then used to study the structure and transition properties of single-Λ hypernuclei in oxygen hyperisotopes, in comparison with those determined using several selected CDF Lagrangians. A discrepancy is explicitly observed in the isospin evolution of Λ1p spin-orbit splitting with various effective interactions, which is attributed to the divergence of the meson-hyperon coupling strengths with increasing density. In particular, the density-dependent CDFs introduce an extra contribution to reduce the value but enhance the isospin dependence of the splitting, which originates from the rearrangement terms of Λ self-energies. In addition, the characteristics of hypernuclear radii are studied along the isotopic chain. Owing to the impurity effect of theΛ hyperon, a size shrinkage is observed in the matter radii of hypernuclei compared with the cores of normal nuclei,and its magnitude is further elucidated to correlate with the incompressibility of nuclear matter. Moreover, there is a sizable model-dependent trend in which the Λ hyperon radii evolve with neutron number, which is decided partly by the in-medium NN interactions and core polarization effects.展开更多

The total cross sections and differential cross sections for various nuclear targets are calculated with an elementary process pN → NKA where the additional contributions from the N（1535） resonance and the final state interaction between p and A are included. The dependence of the production cross sections of A-hypernuclei on the phenomenological nuclear density and the nucleon number in the target, as well as the distortion effect of the incident proton and outgoing kaon, are also explored. It is shown that the distortion effect tends to decrease the cross sections by a factor of about 3--10. The production cross sections are sensitive to the adopted nuclear density.展开更多

We show that the maximal mass of the NSs becomes smaller, but the redshift becomes larger from the GM model to the HD model, then to the ZM model. The interaction with the 6-meson exchange enlarges the maximal mass of neutron stars, increases the relative population of charged particles （proton, electron and muon） and descends the relative population of neutron.展开更多

文摘The in-medium feature of nuclear force, which includes both nucleon-nucleon( NN) and hyperon-nucleon( ΛN) interactions, impacts the description of single-Λ hypernuclei. With the alternated mass number or isospin of hypernuclei, such effects may be unveiled by analyzing the systematic evolution of the bulk and single-particle properties. From a density-dependent meson-nucleon/hyperon coupling perspective, a new ΛN effective interaction in the covariant density functional(CDF) theory, namely, DD-LZ1-Λ1, is obtained by fitting the experimental data ofΛ separation energies for several single-Λ hypernuclei. It is then used to study the structure and transition properties of single-Λ hypernuclei in oxygen hyperisotopes, in comparison with those determined using several selected CDF Lagrangians.
