Abstract

We calculate potentials between a proton and a (hyperon with strangeness -2) through the equal-time Bethe-Salpeter wave function, employing quenched lattice QCD simulations with the plaquette gauge action and the Wilson quark action on (4.5 fm)^4 lattice at the lattice spacing fm. The ud quark mass in our study corresponds to and 0.51 GeV, while the s quark mass corresponds to the physical value of . The central potential has a strong (weak) repulsive core in the () channel for $r \lsim 0.6$ fm, while the potential has attractive well at the medium and long distances (0.6 fm $\lsim r \lsim 1.2$ fm) in both channels. The sign of the scattering length and its quark mass dependence indicate a net attraction in both channels at low energies.
