Four-body calculation of the0+-1+binding energy difference in theA=4Λhypernuclei

Abstract
The coupled, two-variable integral equations that determine the HeΛ4 and HΛ4 ground and first excited states, when the NN and ΛN-ΣN interactions are represented by separable potentials, are solved numerically. We find the spin-isospin suppression of the Λ-Σ conversion due to the composite nature of the He3, H3 nuclear cores to be a significant factor in understanding the 0+ 1+ binding energy difference.
