Abstract
One-proton () radioactive emission under the influence of the -hyperon inclusion is discussed. I investigate the hyper- emitter, , with a time-dependent three-body model. Two-body interactions for -proton and subsystems are determined consistently to their resonant and bound energies, respectively. For a proton- subsystem, a contact interaction, which can be linked to the vacuum-scattering length of the proton- scattering, is employed. A noticeable sensitivity of the -emission observables to the scattering length of the proton- interaction is shown. The -hyperon inclusion leads to a remarkable fall of the -resonance energy and width from the hyperonless -proton resonance. For some empirical values of the proton- scattering length, the -resonance width is suggested to be of the order of MeV. Thus, the emission from may occur in the time scale of seconds, which is sufficiently shorter than the self-decay lifetime of seconds. By taking the spin-dependence of the proton- interaction into account, a remarkable split of the and -resonance states is predicted. It is also suggested that, if the spin-singlet proton- interaction is sufficiently attractive, the emission from the ground state is forbidden. From these results, I conclude that the emission can be a suitable phenomenon to investigate the basic properties of the hypernuclear interaction, for which a direct measurement is still difficult.
