چکیده

In this work we calculate the 1 S 0 gap energies of Λ hyperons in neutron star matter. The calculation is based on a solution of the BCS gap equation for an effective G-matrix parameterization of the Λ−Λ interaction with a nuclear matter background, presented recently by Lanskoy and Yamamoto. We find that a gap energy of a few tenths of MeV is expected for Λ Fermi momenta up to about 1.3 fm −1. Implications for neutron star matter are examined, and suggest the existence of a Λ 1 S 0 superfluid between the threshold baryon density for Λ formation and the baryon density where the Λ fraction reaches 15−20%.

A sample of Λ’s produced in 2 AGeV Ni + natCu collisions has been obtained with the EOS Time Projection Chamber at the Bevalac. Low background in the invariant mass distribution allows for the unambiguous demonstration of Λ directed flow. The Λ mT spectrum at mid-rapidity has the characteristic shoulder-arm shape of particles undergoing radial transverse expansion. A linear dependence of Λ mult...

The fundamental structure of the full set of solutions of the BCS P2 pairing problem in neutron matter is established. The relations between different spin-angle components in these solutions are shown to be practically independent of density, temperature, and the specific form of the pairing interaction. The spectrum of pairing energies is found to be highly degenerate. Typeset using REVTEX

We have developed a formalism for microscopic Brueckner-type calculations of dense nuclear matter that includes all types of baryon–baryon interactions and allows to treat any asymmetry on the fractions of the different and Ξ 0). We present results for the different single–particle potentials focussing on situations that can be relevant in future microscopic studies of beta-stable neutron star ...

We re-examine the puzzling π emission from the weak decay of 4ΛHe and propose an explanation in terms of a three–body decay of the virtual Σ. Such a resolution of the π decay puzzle is consistent with the calculated Σ probability in light Λ hypernuclei as well as the experimentally observed π energy spectrum and s–wave angular distribution.
