Femtoscopic study on the ΛΛ-NΞ interaction

Abstract

The correlation functions of pΞ − and ΛΛ pairs from high-energy pp collisions are investigated in the coupled-channel formalism. The NΞΛΛ coupled-channel potentials obtained in the lattice QCD calculation at almost physical quark masses are employed. The pΞ − correlation function shows the large enhancement from the pure Coulomb case, while the ΛΛ correlation function shows the moderate enhancement from the pure quantum statistics case. This agreement indicates that both the NΞ and ΛΛ interactions are moderately attractive without having quasibound or bound state.
