We have studied the binding energies of a group of single Λ-hypernuclei in a relativistic approach and modeled the single Λ-hypernuclei as a Λ-core binary system. Since the Hellmann potential is ideal for defining nucleon-core interaction and the single Λ-hypernuclei can be assumed as a single nucleon coupled to the whole nuclei but does not suffer from Pauli blocking, we have selected this potential for interaction between the Λ particle and the core. The time-independent Dirac equation is a reasonable option for defining the relativistic bound states corresponding to a spin-1/2 Λ hyperon in the hypernuclei. We solved this equation by using the Hellmann potential under the presence of pseudo-spin symmetry in terms of the generalized parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov method, a way to make the application of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method as plain as possible. Our results were in good agreement with experimental values and other theoretical works. Hence, this model applies to the Λ-hypernuclei.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
