Variational study of Light Hypernuclei

The real nature of nucleon-hyperon and hyperon-hyperon interaction is best understood by theoretical study of single lambda hypernuclei. Variational Monte-Carlo calculations have been done on some light lambda hypernuclei using realistic NN, NNN ; phenomenological ΛN and ΛNN interactions. The results obtained for different interactions show the role of ΛN and ΛNN interactions. These interactions have been found to be important for the stability of the hypernuclear systems.
