contents We examine the $Λ$-${}^4\mathrm{He}$ ($α$) momentum correlation in high-energy collisions to elucidate the interaction between Lambdas ($Λ$) and nucleons ($N$). We compare phenomenological $Λα$ potentials with different strengths at short range. In addition to the conventional Gaussian-type potentials, we construct the $Λα$ potentials by substituting the nucleon density distribution in $α$ into the Skyrme-type $Λ$ potentials. We find that the dependence on the employed potential models is visible in the correlation functions from a small-size source. This indicates that the $Λα$ momentum correlation could constrain the property of the $ΛN$ interaction at high densities, which is expected to play an essential role in dense nuclear matter. Also, we verify that the Lednicky-Lyuboshits formula can yield erroneous results for a small-size source with a potential which has a large interaction range, like the $Λα$ system.
