A large number of hypernuclei, where a considerable fraction of nucleons is replaced by strange baryons, and even pure hyperonic species are expected to be bound. Though, the hypernuclear landscape remains largely unknown because of scarce constraints on the $NY$ and $YY$ interactions. We want to estimate the number of potentially bound hypernuclei. In order to evaluate realistic error bars within the theoretical uncertainties associated to the spherical mean-field approach, and the present information from already synthetized hypernuclei on the $N-Y$ and $Y-Y$ channels, we limit ourselves to purely $Lambda$-hypernuclei, to magic numbers of $Lambda$s (for Z $leq$ 120 and $Lambda leq$70), and to even-even-even systems. We consider a density functional approach adjusted to microscopic Bruckner-Hartree-Fock calculations, where the $LambdaLambda$ term is corrected in a phenomenological way, to reproduce present experimental constraints. The number of bound even-even-even $Lambda$-hypernuclei is estimated to 491680 $pm$ 34400. This relatively low uncertainty is due to the fact that the well constrained low density and highly unconstrained high density behavior of the energy functional turn out to be largely decoupled. Results in $Lambda$-hypernuclei appear to be almost independent of the choice for the high-density part of the $LambdaLambda$ interaction. The location of the $Lambda$-hyperdriplines is also evaluated. Significant deviations from Iron-Nickel elements can be found for $Lambda$-hypernuclei with the largest binding energy per baryon. Proton, neutron and $Lambda$-hyperon magicity evolution and triple magic $Lambda$-hypernuclei are studied. Possible bubbles and haloes effect in $Lambda$-hypernuclei are also discussed.

The momentum distribution of Lambda^0 hyperons produced from the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is calculated in dependence on their polarization. The momentum distribution of Lambda^0 hyperons is defined by matri x elements of relativistic quark Wigner operators, which are calculated within the Effective quark model with chiral U(3)xU(3) symmetry and the Quark-Gluon transport theory. We show that the polarization of the Lambda^0 hyperon depends of the spin of the strange quark that agrees well with the DeGrand-Miettinen model. We show that Lambda^0 hyperons, produced from the QGP, are fully unpolarized. This means that a detection of unpolarized Lambda^0 hyperons, produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, should serve as one of the signatures for the existence of the QGP in intermediate states of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
The structure of neutron stars is determined by the equation of state of the matter inside the star, which relies on the knowledge of nuclear interactions. While radii of neutron stars mostly depend on the equation of state of neutron matter at nucle ar densities, their maximum mass can be drastically affected by the appearance of hyperons at higher densities in the inner core of the star. We summarize recent quantum Monte Carlo results on the calculation of the equation of state of neutron matter at nuclear and higher densities. We report about the development of realistic hyperon-nucleon interactions based on the available experimental data for light- and medium-heavy hypernuclei and on the effect of $Lambda$ hyperons to the neutron star structure.
We investigate double $Lambda$ hyperfragment formation from the statistical decay of double $Lambda$ compound nuclei produced in the $Xi^-$ absorption at rest in light nuclei, $^{12}mathrm{C}$, $^{14}mathrm{N}$ and $^{16}mathrm{O}$. We examine the ta rget and the $LambdaLambda$ bond energy dependence of the double $Lambda$ hyperfragment formation probabilities, especially of those double hypernuclei observed in experiments. For the $^{12}mathrm{C}$ ($^{14}mathrm{N}$) target, the formation probabilities of $^{6}_{LambdaLambda}mathrm{He}$ and $^{10}_{LambdaLambda}mathrm{Be}$ ($^{13}_{LambdaLambda}mathrm{B}$) are found to be reasonably large as they are observed in the KEK-E373 (KEK-E176) experiment. By comparison, for $^{16}mathrm{O}$ target, the formation probability of $^{11}_{LambdaLambda}mathrm{Be}$ is calculated to be small with $Delta B_{LambdaLambda}$ consistent with the Nagara event. We also evaluate the formation probability of ${}^{5}_{LambdaLambda}mathrm{H}$ from a $Xi^-$-${}^{6}mathrm{He}$ bound state, ${}^{7}_{Xi}mathrm{H}$.
The non--mesonic weak decay of double--$Lambda$ hypernuclei is studied within a microscopic diagrammatic approach. Besides the nucleon--induced mechanism, $Lambda Nto nN$, widely studied in single--$Lambda$ hypernuclei, additional hyperon--induced me chanisms, $Lambda Lambdato Lambda n$, $Lambda Lambdato Sigma^0 n$ and $Lambda Lambdato Sigma^-p$, are accessible in double--$Lambda$ hypernuclei and are investigated here. As in previous works on single--$Lambda$ hypernuclei, we adopt a nuclear matter formalism extended to finite nuclei via the local density approximation and a one--meson exchange weak transition potential (including the ground state pseudoscalar and vector octets mesons) supplemented by correlated and uncorrelated two--pion--exchange contributions. The weak decay rates are evaluated for hypernuclei in the region of the experimentally accessible light hypernuclei $^{10}_{LambdaLambda}$Be and $^{13}_{LambdaLambda}$B. Our predictions are compared with a few previous evaluations. The rate for the $Lambda Lambdato Lambda n$ decay is dominated by $K$--, $K^*$-- and $eta$--exchange and turns out to be about 2.5% of the free $Lambda$ decay rate, $Gamma_{Lambda}^{rm free}$, while the total rate for the $Lambda Lambdato Sigma^0 n$ and $Lambda Lambdato Sigma^- p$ decays, dominated by $pi$--exchange, amounts to about 0.25% of $Gamma_{Lambda}^{rm free}$. The experimental measurement of these decays would be essential for the beginning of a systematic study of the non--mesonic decay of strangeness $-2$ hypernuclei. This field of research could also shed light on the possible existence and nature of the $H$--dibaryon.
A sample of Lambdas produced in 2 A*GeV Ni + Cu collisions has been obtained with the EOS Time Projection Chamber at the Bevalac. Low background in the invariant mass distribution allows for the unambiguous demonstration of Lambda directed flow. The transverse mass spectrum at mid-rapidity has the characteristic shoulder-arm shape of particles undergoing radial transverse expansion. A linear dependence of Lambda multiplicity on impact parameter is observed, from which a total Lambda + Sigma^0 production cross section of $112 +/- 24 mb is deduced. Detailed comparisons with the ARC and RVUU models are made.
