Hypertriton and hyperspherical harmonics

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
We study the hypertriton using the formalism of hyperspherical harmonics, for spin-independent NN and N..lambda.. two-body potentials of Gaussian shape. We use up to 19 Simonov harmonics for the Verma-Sural potential, and obtain a ground state energy 240 keV below their value of -2.35 MeV found for 9 Simonov harmonics. The partial waves are used to calculate various expectation values for the hypertriton. We readjust the strength of the ..lambda..N potential to obtain agreement between the calculated energy and the experimental value.
