The chiral potentials consist of contact terms without derivatives and of one-pseudoscalar-meson exchanges. Assuming SU(3) flavor symmetry those contact terms and the couplings of the pseudoscalar mesons to the baryons are related to the corresponding quantities of the S=-1 hyperon-nucleon channels. Specifically, the values of the pertinent five low-energy constants related to the contact terms are already fixed from our preceeding study of the Lambda-N and Sigma-N systems and thus genuine predictions for the Xi-Lambda, Xi-Sigma, and Xi-Xi interactions can be made. Strong attraction is found in some of the S=-3 and -4 channels, suggesting the possible existence of bound states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-07-08T11:37:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.30.-x", "12.39.Fe", "21.80.+a", "13.75.Ev" ], "keywords": [ "chiral effective field theory", "baryon-baryon interactions", "contact terms", "predictions", "chiral potentials consist" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.physletb.2010.01.031", "journal": "Physics Letters B", "year": 2010, "month": "Feb", "volume": 684, "number": "4-5", "pages": 275 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 825228, "adsabs": "2010PhLB..684..275H" } } }
