| contents | This work is a sequel to our two 2023 publications [PLB 837 137669, NPA 1039 122725] where fitting 14 1$s_Λ$ and 1$p_Λ$ single-particle binding energies in hypernuclei across the periodic table led to a well-defined $Λ$-nucleus optical potential. The potential consists of a Pauli modified linear-density ($ΛN$) and a quadratic-density ($ΛNN$) terms. The present work reports on extending the above analysis to 21 $Λ$ single-particle data points input by including 1$d_Λ$ and 1$f_Λ$ states in medium-weight and heavy hypernuclei. The upgraded results for the $ΛN$ and $ΛNN$ potential depths at nuclear-matter density $ρ_0=0.17$~fm$^{-3}$, $D^{(2)}_Λ=-37.5\mp 0.7$~MeV and $D^{(3)}_Λ=+9.8\pm 1.2$~MeV together with the total depth $D_Λ=-27.7\pm 0.5$~MeV, agree within errors with the earlier results. The $Λ$ hypernuclear overbinding associated with the $ΛN$-induced potential depth $D^{(2)}_Λ$ agrees quantitatively with a recent combined analysis of low-energy $Λp$ scattering data and correlation functions [PLB 850 (2024) 138550]. These results, particularly the size of the repulsive $D^{(3)}_Λ$, provide an essential input towards resolving the 'hyperon puzzle' in the core of neutron stars. We also show that a key property of our $ΛNN$-induced potential term, i.e. a need to suppress the quadratic-density $ΛNN$ term involving an excess neutron and a $N=Z$ core nucleon, can be tested in the forthcoming JLab E12-15-008 experiment. |
