Shell-model calculations for p-shell hypernuclei

The interpretation of hypernuclear γ-ray data for p-shell hypernuclei in terms of shell-model calculations that include the coupling of Λ- and Σ-hypernuclear states is briefly reviewed. Next, and are considered, both to exhibit features of Λ–Σ coupling and as possible source of observed, but unassigned, hypernuclear γ-rays. Then, the feasibility of measuring the ground-state doublet spacing of , which, like , could be studied via the (K−,π0γ) reaction, is investigated. Structural information relevant to the population of states in these hypernuclei in recent (e,e′K+) studies is also given. Finally, the extension of the shell-model calculations to sd-shell hypernuclei is briefly considered.
