Proceedings of RIKEN BNL Research Center Workshop: Hyperon-Hyperon Interactions and Searches for Exotic Di-Hyperons in Nuclear Collisions

This workshop, held on February 29 through March 2, 2012 at Brookhaven National Laboratory, was dedicated to the study of hyperon-hyperon interactions and searches for exotic di-hyperons in nuclear collisions. We brought together the heavy ion and hyperon physics communities to explore new physics opportunities arising from the large number of multiple hyperons produced in heavy ion collisions.

Hyperon-nucleon and hyperon-hyperon interactions based on effective field theory

I report on recent progress in the description of baryon-baryon systems within chiral effective field theory. In particular, results for the hyperon-hyperon interaction as well as for strangeness S =-3 to -4 baryon-baryon systems, obtained to leading order are discussed. Preliminary results for the hyperon-nucleon interaction to next-to-leading order are presented.

Electromagnetic production of hyperon resonances

The study of hyperon resonances has entered a new era of precision with advent of high-statistics photoproduction data from the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. These data have multi-particle final states, allowing clean identification of exclusive reactions associated with strange mesons and baryons. Examples of physics results are: evidence for isospin interference in the decay of the {Lambda}(1405) resonance; a strong suggestion of meson cloud effects in the structure of the {Sigma}(1385) resonance; data from K* photoproduction that will test the existence of the purported K{sub 0}(800) meson. Properties of other hyperon resonances will also be studied in the near future.

Global and local polarization of Λ hyperons in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV from STAR

New results on global polarization of Λ hyperons in Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV reveal non-zero signal on the order of a few tenths of a percent. Compared with lower energy results, the current measurement shows that the polarization decreases at higher collision energy, the trend being well reproduced by theoretical calculations. The polarization is found to be larger in more peripheral collisions, as well as in the in-plane than in the out-of-plane direction. The signal seems to depend on the asymmetry between positive and negative charge in each event, which may indicate an influence of the axial current induced by the magnetic field. In addition, the first measurement of a local polarization along the beam direction was performed. The results show a quadrupole modulation relative to the second-order event plane, as expected from the elliptic flow.

Hyperon Photoproduction from Polarized H and D: towards a complete N* experiment

New complete experiments in pseudoscalar meson photo-production are being pursued at several laboratories. Here the designation of complete refers to measurements of most if not all of the possible reaction observables, of which there are 16 involving spins of the beam, target and recoil baryon. Hyperon production to Λ or Σ{sup +} final states affords attractive opportunities, since their weak decays provide an efficient self-analysis of their polarization. When the beam and target are also polarized, the resulting triple polarization measurements determine the full suite of observables with a single target orientation. This has been a focus at Jefferson Lab in the recently completed g9/FROST and g14/HDice experiments now under analysis. Multipole analyses of γp->K{sup +}Λ have been carried out with a large though incomplete set of recently published polarization data, and the uniqueness of the extracted amplitudes has been studied. Experiments with realistically achievable uncertainties require a significantly greater number of spin asymmetries than the in-principle minimum needed for a mathematical solution of the amplitude.

Hyperon matter at low densities

It was reported recently that hyperons can be present inside PSRJ1614-2230 compact star. This can be realized only if the strength of the ω-hyperons and φ-hyperons coupling of conventional hyperons coupling constant on the extended relativistic mean field (ERMF) model increase by a factor of 1.5 to 3. In the present work, the mass and radius relation of the neutron star that is calculated by using BSR28 parameter set of ERMF model augmented with maximal coupling strength of the ω-hyperons and φ-hyperons (X=1), is compared to the mass and radius relation of the neutron star that is predicted by the same RMF parameter set but by assuming that hyperons do not exist in the matter (No. Hyp) as well as those by assuming the hyperons coupling constant fulfilled the conventional SU(6) and SU(3) symmetry. The consequences of implementing X=1 prescription are also discussed. The potential depths of hyperons in symmetric nuclear matter (SNM), pure neutron matter (PNM) and pure lambda matter (PLM) based on this parameter set are also calculated by using the X=1, SU (6) and SU (3) prescriptions. The results are compared to those obtained from microscopic models, quark meson coupling model (χ QMM) and the QCD sum rule for finite density (QCD SM) result.

NEW HYPERON EQUATIONS OF STATE FOR SUPERNOVAE AND NEUTRON STARS IN DENSITY-DEPENDENT HADRON FIELD THEORY

We develop new hyperon equation of state (EoS) tables for core-collapse supernova simulations and neutron stars. These EoS tables are based on a density-dependent relativistic hadron field theory where baryon-baryon interaction is mediated by mesons, using the parameter set DD2 for nucleons. Furthermore, light and heavy nuclei along with interacting nucleons are treated in the nuclear statistical equilibrium model of Hempel and Schaffner-Bielich which includes excluded volume effects. Of all possible hyperons, we consider only the contribution of Λs. We have developed two variants of hyperonic EoS tables: in the npΛφ case the repulsive hyperon-hyperon interaction mediated by the strange φ meson is taken into account, and in the npΛ case it is not. The EoS tables for the two cases encompass a wide range of densities (10{sup –12} to ∼1 fm{sup –3}), temperatures (0.1 to 158.48 MeV), and proton fractions (0.01 to 0.60). The effects of Λ hyperons on thermodynamic quantities such as free energy per baryon, pressure, or entropy per baryon are investigated and found to be significant at higher densities. The cold, β-equilibrated EoS (with the crust included self-consistently) results in a 2.1 M {sub ☉} maximum mass neutron star for the npΛφ case, whereas that for the npΛ case is 1.95 M {sub ☉}. The npΛφ EoS represents the first supernova EoS table involving hyperons that is directly compatible with the recently measured 2 M {sub ☉} neutron stars.

Nucleon-Hyperon (and YY) Scattering on the Lattice

Lattice QCD offers the chance to study the interactions of strange hadrons from the first principles of QCD. These NY (nucleon-hyperon) and YY (hyperon-hyperon) interactions are crucial to understanding the strange matter that may be created in extreme environments, such as the core of a neutron star. Since the fast decay of strange matter prevents experiments from providing strong constraints on the parameters of such interactions, direct theoretical calculations are especially valuable. In this presentation, I will report on the latest progress toward precision nucleon-hyperon and hyperon-hyperon scattering calculation in lattice QCD.

HYPERON MATTER AND BLACK HOLE FORMATION IN FAILED SUPERNOVAE

We investigate the emergence of hyperons in black-hole-forming failed supernovae, which are caused by the dynamical collapse of nonrotating massive stars. We perform neutrino-radiation hydrodynamical simulations in general relativity, adopting realistic hyperonic equation of state. Attractive and repulsive cases are examined for the potential of {Sigma} hyperons. Since hyperons soften the EOS, they shorten the time interval from bounce to black hole formation, which corresponds to the duration of neutrino emission. This effect is more pronounced in the attractive case than in the repulsive case because {Sigma} hyperons appear more easily. In addition, we investigate the impacts of pions to find that they also promote recollapse toward black hole formation.

Hyperons in neutron star matter within relativistic mean-field models

Since the discovery of neutron stars with masses around 2M{sub ⊙} the composition of matter in the central part of these massive stars has been intensively discussed. Within this paper we will (re)investigate the question of the appearance of hyperons. To that end we will perform parameter study within relativistic mean field models. We will show that it is possible to obtain high mass neutron stars with a substantial amount of hyperons and a spinodal instability at the onset of hyperons. The results depend strongly on the interaction in the hyperon-hyperon channels, on which only very little information is available from terrestrial experiments up to now.

LARGE-MASS NEUTRON STARS WITH HYPERONIZATION

Within a density-dependent relativistic mean-field model and using in-medium meson-hadron coupling constants and meson masses, we explore the effects of in-medium hyperon interactions on the properties of neutron stars. We found that hyperonic constituents in large-mass neutron stars cannot be simply ruled out, while the recently measured mass of the millisecond pulsar J1614-2230 can significantly constrain in-medium hyperon interactions. In addition, we discuss the effects of nuclear symmetry energy on hyperonization in neutron stars.
