The J = 1/2 iso-doublet double-Λ hypernuclei, namely, 5 ΛΛ H and 5 ΛΛ He, are examined as the three-body cluster states, ΛΛt (t ≡ 3 H or triton) and ΛΛh (h ≡ 3 He or helion), respectively, in a model independent framework utilizing pionless halo effective field theory. Both singlet and triplet states of the ΛT (T ≡ t, h) subsystems are used in the elastic channel for the study of 4 Λ H−Λ and 4 Λ He−Λ scattering processes. A prototypical leading order investigation yields a ΛΛ separation energy (BΛΛ) of 5 ΛΛ He greater than that of 5 ΛΛ H, in agreement with the existing results from rigorous Faddeev calculation analyses using potential model framework. In particular, our study of the sharp momentum cut-off dependence of the non-asymptotic solutions to the coupled integral equations, upon normalization with respect to a single potential model predicted (BΛΛ , aΛΛ) data point (aΛΛ being the S-wave ΛΛ scattering length) for each ΛΛT iso-doublet, yields results with reasonably good agreement with potential model analyses for cut-off scales close to Λc ∼ 230 − 240 MeV. This is consistent with low-energy ΛΛ interaction mechanism dominated by two π or σ meson exchange. Finally, we present a preliminary estimate of the S-wave ΛΛT three-body scattering lengths at the leading order in the effective theory for several input values of aΛΛ which were earlier predicted from several existing phenomenological analyses.
