Summary
A variational method is used to find an upper limit to the strength of the nucleon-Λ° force from the measured binding energy of the hyper-triton. The force so found is too weak to lead to a bound nucleon-Λ° state.
Riassunto
Si impiega un metodo variazionale per trovare un limite superiore per la forza del nucleone Λ° partendo dall’energia di legame dell’iper-tritone risultante dalle misure. La forza così trovata è troppo debole per condurre a uno stato legato del nucleone Λ° .
