Baryon-baryon interactions from Effective Field Theory

Abstract

I report on recent progress in the description of baryon-baryon systems within chiral effective field theory. In particular, results for the hyperon-nucleon and hyperon-hyperon interactions as well as for strangeness S = −3 to −4 baryon-baryon systems, obtained to leading order are discussed. Preliminary results for the hyperon-nucleon interaction to next-to-leading order are presented.
