A relativistic mean field study of multi-strange system

Abstract

In this paper, we study the binding energies, radii, single-particle energies, spin-orbit potential and density profile for multi-strange hypernuclei in the range of light mass to superheavy mass region within the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory. The stability of multi-strange hypernuclei as a function of introduced hyperons (Λ and Σ) is investigated. The neutron, lambda and sigma mean potentials are presented for light to superheavy hypernuclei. The inclusion of hyperons affects the nucleon, lambda and sigma spin-orbit potentials significantly. The bubble structure of nuclei and corresponding hypernuclei is studied. Nucleon and lambda halo structures are also investigated. A large class of bound multi-strange systems formed from the combination of nucleons and hyperons (n, p, Λ, Σ+ and n, p, Λ, Σ-) is suggested in the region of superheavy hypernuclei which might be stable against the strong decay. These multi-strange systems might be produced in heavy-ion reactions.
