  3. Hypernucleus:Bound system of nucleons and one or more hyperons. • Productionreactions: Basics: production and decays E.V. Hungerford, Lect. Notes Phys. 724, 1-29 (2007)

  4. Basics: production and decays • Unstableagainstweakinteraction (τ ~10-10s) theydecay • Possibledecays: ΛπN , ΛΝNN, ΛNNNNN, … • Weakdecayobservables: decayrates and parityviolatingasymmetry. W.M. Alberico, A. de Pace, G. Garbarino, and A. Ramos, Phys. Rev. C 61, 044314 (2000)

  5. Basics: production and decays • Unstableagainstweakinteraction (τ ~10-10s) theydecay • Possibledecays: ΛπN , ΛΝNN, ΛNNNNN, … • Weakdecayobservables: decayrates and parityviolatingasymmetry. T-matrix ΛNNN interaction In theBornapproximation V(q)=iM(q) We can describe theinteraction in theonemesonexchangepicture (OME) previouslydeveloped and throughaneffectivefieldtheory (EFT). Ourgoalis compare bothpotentials.

  6. OME VERSUS EFT EFT ΛNNN OME • EFT is a systematicapproximationtosomeunderlyingdynamics (short wavelength) thatisvalid in somespecifiedregime (longwavelength). • It includes the appropriate degrees of freedom to describe physical phenomena occurring at a chosen length scale, while ignoring substructure and degrees of freedom at shorter distances. • Ourtransferedmomentumis q~400 MeV. Thisgivesusthedynamicalscale of thephenomenastudied: thetheorymustinclude as explicitdegrees of freedom, at least, thosewithmassesorenergieslowerthan 400 MeV. Wetakethesetobethe pion (mπ=135 MeV) and thekaon (mΚ=494 MeV).

  7. OME VERSUS EFT EFT ΛNNN OME • We establish our effective theory by considering all the operational structures compatible with the underlying symmetries in the ΛNNN weak transition. • The resulting transition potential is organized in a series of contact terms of increasing dimension in the ratio of the transferred momentum over the nucleon mass, q/MN. • The contact terms introduce singularities in the form of a delta function, which is smeared to a gaussian form of width α. Theparameterα, whichistakentobetheinverse of thefirstmesonexcluded, provides a natural cutofftothetheory.

  8. OME VERSUS EFT EFT ΛNNN OME LO NLO NNLO

  9. OME VERSUS EFT EFT ΛNNN OME • In the OME picture the ΛNNN process is assumed to proceed via the virtual exchange of mesons belonging to the ground-state pseudoscalar and vector meson octets. • The exchange of these mesons, and according to their masses, accounts for the different ranges of the interaction. • mπ=135 MeV, mΚ=494 MeV, • mη=548 MeV, mρ=775, • mω=783 MeV, mΚ*=892 MeV • Given the meson coupling constants and applying the feynman rules, two types of potentials are found:

  10. OME VERSUS EFT EFT ΛNNN OME • In orderto compare the OME and the EFT potentialswe expandthepotentialsfortheη, ρ, ω and K*. • Weorganizethem as powers of q2 (theexpansionparameteris q2/mmeson2). Forexample, at nexttoleadingorderwefinddifferent PV contributions:

  11. OME VERSUS EFT EFT ΛNNN OME V=Vπ+VK+Vcontactterms V=Vπ+VK+Vexpansion • We relate the low energy constants (LEC’s) that appear in the EFT transition potential and the coupling constants of the pertinent meson-exchange mechanisms by comparing the two potentials at each order. • Calculate LECS: • Extract information about meson coupling constants • Give new contributions not condidered in the OME (sigma)

  12. Work in progress • Derivation of the EFT up to NNLO (matching to the OME). • Calculation of the low energy constants (LECs) in the EFT. The theory has • been implemented into a hypernuclear code, which is prepared to extract the • LECs by performing minimizations to existing hypernuclear decay database • (5HeΛ, 11BΛ and 12CΛ). • Sensitivity to the cutoff of the theory (the α parameter regularizing the delta • function). • Sensitivity to the strong ΛΝ and NN potential models. • Inclusion of the ΔI=3/2 transitions. • Thank you
