Motivated by the recent experimental measurements of differential cross sections of the $Sigma^{-}p$ elastic scattering in the momentum range of $470$ to $850$ MeV$/c$ by the J-PARC E$40$ experiment, we extend our previous studies of $S=-1$ hyperon-nucleon interactions to relatively higher energies up to $900$ MeV$/c$ for both the coupled-channel $Lambda prightarrow(Lambda p, Sigma^{+}n, Sigma^{0}p)$, $Sigma^{-}prightarrow(Lambda n, Sigma^{0}n, Sigma^{-}p)$ and single-channel $Sigma^{+}prightarrowSigma^{+}p$ reactions. We show that although the leading order covariant chiral effective field theory is only constrained by the low energy data, it can describe the high energy data very well, in particular, the J-PARC E40 differential cross sections. In particular, we predict a pronounced cusp structure close to the $Sigma N$ threshold in the $Lambda pto Lambda p$ reaction, which can be checked in the future using, e.g., the Femtoscopy technique. The predicted total and differential cross sections are of relevance for ongoing and planned experiments.

Song et al. [Phys. Rev. C 102, 065208 (2020)] presented results for the $Lambda_c N$ interaction based on an extrapolation of lattice simulations by the HAL QCD Collaboration at unphysical quark masses to the physical point via covariant chiral effective field theory. We point out that their predictions for the $^3D_1$ partial wave disagree with available lattice results. We discuss the origin of that disagreement and present a comparison with predictions from conventional (non-relativistic) chiral effective field theory.
The $Lambda N$ and $Sigma N$ interactions are considered at next-to-leading order in SU(3) chiral effective field theory. Different options for the low-energy constants that determine the strength of the contact interactions are explored. Two variants are analysed in detail which yield equivalent results for $Lambda N$ and $Sigma N$ scattering observables but differ in the strength of the $Lambda N to Sigma N$ transition potential. The influence of this difference on predictions for light hypernuclei and on the properties of the $Lambda$ and $Sigma$ hyperons in nuclear matter is investigated and discussed. The effect of the variation in the potential strength of the $Lambda N$-$Sigma N$ coupling (also called $Lambda -Sigma$ conversion) is found to be moderate for the considered $^3_Lambda rm H$ and $^4_Lambda rm He$ hypernuclei but sizable in case of the matter properties. Further, the size of three-body forces and their relation to different approaches to hypernuclear interactions is discussed.
We discuss the current status of chiral effective field theory in the three-nucleon sector and present selected results for nucleon-deuteron scattering observables based on semilocal momentum-space-regularized chiral two-nucleon potentials together with consistently regularized three-nucleon forces up to third chiral order. Using a Bayesian model for estimating truncation errors, the obtained results are found to provide a good description of the experimental data. We confirm our earlier findings that a high-precision description of nucleon-deuteron scattering data below pion production threshold will require the theory to be pushed to fifth chiral order. This conclusion is substantiated by an exploratory study of selected short-range contributions to the three-nucleon force at that order, which, as expected, are found to have significant effects on polarization observables at intermediate and high energies. We also outline the challenges that will need to be addressed in order to push the chiral expansion of three-nucleon scattering observables to higher orders.
We propose an arrangement of the most commonly invoked version of the two-nucleon chiral potential such that the low-lying amplitude zero of the 1S0 partial wave is captured at leading order of the effective expansion. Adopting other partial waves from the LENPIC interaction, we show how this modification yields an improved description of ground-state energies and point-proton radii of three test nuclei.
We study the scattering of a pseudoscalar meson off one ground state octet baryon in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory (BChPT) up to the next-to-next-to-leading order. The inherent power counting breaking terms are removed within extended-on-mass-shell scheme. We perform the first combined study of the pion-nucleon and kaon-nucleon scattering data in covariant BChPT and show that it can provide a reasonable description of the experimental data. In addition, we find that it is possible to fit the experimental baryon masses and the pion-nucleon and kaon-nucleon scattering data simultaneously at this order, thus providing a consistent check on covariant BChPT. We compare the scattering lengths of all the pertinent channels with available experimental data and those of other approaches. In addition, we have studied the leading order contributions of the virtual decuplet and found that they can improve the description of the $pi N$ phase shifts near the $Delta(1232)$ peak, while they have negligible effects on the description of the $K N$ phase shifts.
