We study the effect of a $Lambda$ hyperon immersed in the doubly magic nuclei, $^{16}$O, $^{40}$Ca, $^{48}$Ca, and $^{208}$Pb, as well as the neutron magic nucleus $^{90}$Zr. For a $Lambda$ in the $1s$ and $1p$ states in $^{17}_{Lambda}$O, $^{41}_{Lambda}$Ca, $^{49}_{Lambda}$Ca, $^{91}_{Lambda}$Zr, and $^{209}_{Lambda}$Pb, we compare the single-particle energies and density distributions of the core nucleons with those of the nuclei without the $Lambda$, as well as the point proton and neutron radii. A remarkable finding is that the bound $Lambda$ induces a significant asymmetry in the proton-neutron density distributions in the core nucleus. This in turn gives rise to an appreciable, iso-vector mean field. As a consequence, the neutrons in the core are more attracted to the center of the nucleus, while the protons are pushed away, in comparison with those in the corresponding nucleus without the $Lambda$.

The scope of the paper is to apply a state-of-the-art beyond mean-field model to the description of the Gamow-Teller response in atomic nuclei. This topic recently attracted considerable renewed interest, due, in particular, to the possibility of performing experiments in unstable nuclei. We study the cases of $^{48}$Ca, $^{78}$Ni, $^{132}$Sn and $^{208}$Pb. Our model is based on a fully self-consistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock plus random phase approximation. The same Skyrme interaction is used to calculate the coupling between particles and vibrations, which leads to the mixing of the Gamow-Teller resonance with a set of doorway states and to its fragmentation. We compare our results with available experimental data. The microscopic coupling mechanism is also discussed in some detail.
We perform three-body model calculations for a $sd$-shell hypernucleus $^{19}_{Lambda}$F ($^{17}_{Lambda}{rm O}+p+n$) and its core nucleus $^{18}$F ($^{16}{rm O}+p+n$), employing a density-dependent contact interaction between the valence proton and neutron. We find that the $B(E2)$ value from the first excited state (with spin and parity of $I^pi=3^+$) to the ground state ($I^pi=1^+$) is slightly decreased by the addition of a $Lambda$ particle, which exhibits the so called shrinkage effect of $Lambda$ particle. We also show that the excitation energy of the $3^+$ state is reduced in $^{19}_{Lambda}$F compared to $^{18}$F, as is observed in a $p$-shell nucleus $^{6}$Li. We discuss the mechanism of this reduction of the excitation energy, pointing out that it is caused by a different mechanism from that in $^{7}_{Lambda}$Li.
The existence of bubble nuclei identified by the central depletion in nucleonic density is studied for the conventional magic N (Z) $=$ 8, 20, 28, 40, 50, 82, 126 isotones (isotopes) and recently speculated magic N $=$ 164, 184, 228 superheavy isotones. Many new bubble nuclei are predicted in all regions. Study of density profiles, form factor, single particle levels and depletion fraction (DF) across the periodic chart reveals that the central depletion is correlated to shell structure and occurs due to unoccupancy in s-orbit (2s, 3s, 4s) and inversion of (2s, 1d) and (3s, 1h) states in nuclei upto Z $le$ 82. Bubble effect in superheavy region is a signature of the interplay between the Coulomb and nn-interaction and depletion fraction (DF) is found to increase with Z (Coulomb repulsion) and decrease with isospin. Our results are consistent with the available data. The occupancy in s-state in $^{34}$Si increases with temperature which appears to quench the bubble effect.
Effect of the tensor force on $beta$?-decay is studied in the framework of the proton-neutron random-phase-approximation (RPA) with the Skyrme force. The investigation is performed for even-even semi-magic and magic nuclei, $^{34}$Si, $^{68}$, $^{78}$Ni and $^{132}$Sn. The tensor correlation induces strong impact on low-lying Gamow-Teller state. In particular, it improves the ?$beta$-decay half-lives. $Q$ and $ft$ values are also investigated and compared with experimental data.
The impurity effect of hyperon on atomic nuclei has received a renewed interest in nuclear physics since the first experimental observation of appreciable reduction of $E2$ transition strength in low-lying states of hypernucleus $^{7}_Lambda$Li. Many more data on low-lying states of $Lambda$ hypernuclei will be measured soon for $sd$-shell nuclei, providing good opportunities to study the $Lambda$ impurity effect on nuclear low-energy excitations. We carry out a quantitative analysis of $Lambda$ hyperon impurity effect on the low-lying states of $sd$-shell nuclei at the beyond-mean-field level based on a relativistic point-coupling energy density functional (EDF), considering that the $Lambda$ hyperon is injected into the lowest positive-parity ($Lambda_s$) and negative-parity ($Lambda_p$) states. We adopt a triaxially deformed relativistic mean-field (RMF) approach for hypernuclei and calculate the $Lambda$ binding energies of hypernuclei as well as the potential energy surfaces (PESs) in $(beta, gamma)$ deformation plane. We also calculate the PESs for the $Lambda$ hypernuclei with good quantum numbers using a microscopic particle rotor model (PRM) with the same relativistic EDF. The triaxially deformed RMF approach is further applied in order to determine the parameters of a five-dimensional collective Hamiltonian (5DCH) for the collective excitations of triaxially deformed core nuclei. Taking $^{25,27}_{Lambda}$Mg and $^{31}_{Lambda}$Si as examples, we analyse the impurity effects of $Lambda_s$ and $Lambda_p$ on the low-lying states of the core nuclei...
