Ab initio calculations for non-strange and strange few-baryon systems

Abstract

Concerning the non-strange particle systems the low-energy excitation spectra of the three-and four-body helium isotopes are studied. Objects of the study are the astrophysical S-factor S 12 of the radiative proton deuteron capture d(p, γ) 3 He and the width of the 4 He isoscalar monopole resonance. Both observables are calculated using the Lorentz integral transform (LIT) method. The LIT equations are solved via expansions of the LIT states on a specifically modified hyperspherical harmonics (HH) basis. It is illustrated that at low energies such a modification allows to work with much higher LIT resolutions than with an unmodified HH basis. It is discussed that this opens up the possibility to determine astrophysical S-factors as well as the width of low-lying resonances with the LIT method. In the sector of strange baryon systems binding energies of the hypernucleus 3 Λ H are calculated using a nonsymmetrized HH basis. The results are compared with those calculated by various other groups with different methods. For all the considered non-strange and strange baryon systems it is shown that high-precision results are obtained.
