Abstract
Simple considerations regarding the Hamiltonian and the ground state wavefunctions of Λ-hypernuclei are used to derive several mass formulae. The parameters that occur in the mass formulae are determined by fitting the experimental binding energies. Information regarding the various interactions in hypernuclal is deduced from the values of these parameters. The ‘best’ mass formula is further used to predict energies of other light hypernuclei. Relationship between binding energies are also suggested and checked with observed data.
