The onset of ΛΛ hypernuclear binding

Binding energies of light, A≤6, ΛΛ hypernuclei are calculated using the stochastic variational method in a pionless effective field theory (π̸EFT) approach at leading order with the purpose of assessing critically the onset of binding in the strangeness S=−2 hadronic sector. The π̸EFT input in this...
