Study of ${\Xi }^{-}$ hypernuclei in the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach

Abstract

The properties of ${\Xi }^{-}$ hypernuclei are studied systematically using a two-dimensional Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach combined with three different $\Xi N$ Skyrme forces fitted to reproduce the existing data. We explore the impurity effect of a single ${\Xi }^{-}$ hyperon on the radii, deformations, and density distributions of the nuclear core and point out qualitative differences between the different forces. We find that the ${\Xi }^{-}$ removal energy of ${}_{\Xi p}^{13}$B [${}^{12}$C(g.s.)+ ${\Xi }^{-}$(1p)] calculated by the SLX3 force is 0.7 MeV, which is in good agreement with a possible value of $0.82\pm 0.17$MeV from the KEK E176 experiment. The theoretical prediction for this weakly bound state depends strongly on the deformation of the nuclear core, which is analyzed in detail.
