“…In contrast to nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions, where the wealth of experimental data has allowed for the construction of high-precision potentials, the hyperon-nucleon (YN) interactions are only very-approximately known. Experimental information about the YN interaction comes mainly from the study of hypernuclei [1,2], the analysis of associated Λ-kaon and Σ-kaon production in NN collisions near threshold [3,4,5,6,7,8], and hadronic atoms [9]. There are a total of 35 cross-sections measurements [10] of the processes Λp → Λp, Σ − p → Λn, Σ + p → Σ + p, Σ − p → Σ − p and Σ − p → Σ 0 n, and unsurprisingly, the extracted scattering parameters are highly model dependent.…”
