What does the free space Lambda Lambda interaction predict for Lambda Lambda hypernuclei?

Data on LambdaLambda hypernuclei provide a unique method to learn details about the strangeness S=-2 sector of the baryon-baryon interaction. From the free space Bonn-Julich potentials, determined from data on baryon-baryon scattering in the S=0, -1 channels, we construct an interaction in the S=-2 sector to describe the experimentally known LambdaLambda hypernuclei. After including short-range (Jastrow) and RPA correlations, we find masses for these LambdaLambda hypernuclei in a reasonable agreement with data, taking into account theoretical and experimental uncertainties. Thus, we provide a natural extension, at low energies, of the Bonn-Julich one-boson exchange potentials to the S=-2 ch…
