Published: April 2002

The hypernuclei (4)(Lambda)He and (4)(Lambda)H provide important information on the hyperon-nucleon interaction. We present accurate Faddeev-Yakubovsky calculations for the Lambda separation energies of the 0(+) ground and the 1(+) excited states based on the Nijmegen SC YN interactions. We explicitly take the Sigma admixture into account. Mass differences of the baryons and the charge dependence of the interaction are considered. The results show that the Nijmegen models cannot predict all separation energies simultaneously hinting to failures of the current interaction models. It is pointed out that the differences of the Lambda separation energies of (4)(Lambda)He and (4)(Lambda)H are interesting observables to probe the YN interaction models.

Variational calculations for s-shell hypernuclei are performed by explicitly including Sigma degrees of freedom. Four sets of YN interactions [SC97d(S), SC97e(S), SC97f(S), and SC89(S)] are used. The bound-state solution of 5lambdaHe is obtained and a large energy expectation value of the tensor lambdaN-sigmaN transition part is found.

It is found that the suppression due to two-body LambdaN-SigmaN coupling solves the overbinding problem in (5)(Lambda)He but it, in turn, causes a severe underbinding in the four-body systems. The shortage of this binding is overcome by introducing explicitly the Lambda-Sigma coupling which is equivalent to the LambdaNN three-body force. This three-body force becomes strong in the 0(+) states of (4)(Lambda)H and (4)(Lambda)He according to the coherently added enhancement.
