Abstract: | ![]() A new determination of the Lambda-nucleon coupling constants in relativistic mean field theory is presented by optimizing both hyperon binding energy and spin-orbit splitting.Hypernuclear single particle spectra with the new coupling constants suggest the good agreement between the calculation and available data.The spin-orbit splitting of hyperon in medium mass hypernuclei is systematically larger than that in light-or heavy-mass hypernuclei.The sensitivity of the Lambda spin-orbit splitting to the omega-Lambda-Lambda tensor coupling term is also explored. |
