Abstract: | Properties of single- Λ and double- Λ hypernuclei for even-N Ca isotopes ranging from the proton dripline to the neutron dripline are studied using the relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov
theory with a zero-range pairing interaction. Compared with ordinary nuclei, the addition of one or two Λ-hyperons lowers
the Fermi level. The predicted neutron dripline nuclei are, respectively, 75
ΛCa and 76
2ΛCa, as the additional attractive force provided by the Λ-N interaction shifts nuclei from outside to inside the dripline.
Therefore, the last bound hypernuclei have two more neutrons than the corresponding ordinary nuclei. Based on the analysis
of two-neutron separation energies, neutron single-particle energy levels, the contribution of continuum and nucleon density
distribution, giant halo phenomena due to the pairing correlation, and the contribution from the continuum are suggested to
exist in Ca hypernuclei similar to those that appear in ordinary Ca isotopes.
