Abstract
Systematic investigation of energy levels of Λ hypernuclei enables physicists to determine a considerable number of details about the inner structure of these particles as well as the interaction dynamics of Λ nucleon. Of importance is to develop the theoretical tools to study spectroscopy of hypernuclei. In this regard, our aim is to specify the mass spectra and the binding energies of Λ hypernuclei in their ground and excited states. Then, we first present an analytical solution for the Bethe–Salpeter equation of single Λ hypernuclei taking the Woods–Saxon interaction potential. Through a good approximation, we present an analytical expression for the binding energies in the ground and excited states, i.e., 1p, 1d, 1f and 1g shells. We also give numerical results for Λ binding energies of light and heavy hypernuclei. Our numerical analysis is compared with experimental data so that good consistencies between both results confirm the approach used to analysis the Λ–nucleon interaction.
