ENERGY SPECTRA OF $_{\Lambda\Lambda}^{10}{\rm Be}$

Abstract

A brief historical perspective along with a few experimental laboratories around the world pursuing actively hypernuclear physics program is presented. The variational Monte Carlo (VMC) analyzes of ground state energies of s- and p-shell α-cluster hypernuclei [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] along with the excited states of p-shell are discussed. The calculated energies of excited states of hypernuclei, treated as three-and four-body systems compare fairly well with the other work and in our preliminary and the 'first calculation', the 4+ states of [Formula: see text] are predicted to be particle stable.
