We first discuss the deformation properties of $\\Lambda$ hypernuclei in the $sd$-shell region. Based on the relativistic mean-field (RMF) approach, we show that the oblate deformation for $^{28}$Si nucleus may disappear when a $\\Lambda$ particle is added to this nucleus. We then discuss the rotational excitations of $^{25}_{\\Lambda}$Mg nucleus using the three-dimensional potential energy surface in the deformation plane obtained with the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method. The deformation of $^{25}_{\\Lambda}$Mg nucleus is predicted to be slightly reduced due to an addition of $\\Lambda$ particle. We demonstrate that this leads to a reduction of electromagnetic transition probability, $B(E2)$, in the ground state rotational band. We also present an application of random phase approximation (RPA) to hypernuclei, and show that a new dipole mode, which we call a soft dipole $\\Lambda$ mode, appears in hypernuclei, which can be interpreted as an oscillation of $\\Lambda$ particle against the core nucleus.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-12-04T03:05:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "collective excitations", "hypernuclei", "ground state rotational band", "mg nucleus", "three-dimensional potential energy surface" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2012.12.077", "journal": "Nuclear Physics A", "year": 2013, "month": "Sep", "volume": 914, "pages": 151 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1203888, "adsabs": "2013NuPhA.914..151H" } } }
