Description
We study Lambda-Lambda correlation in high-energy heavy-ion collisions based on the Lambda-Lambda interactions proposed so far. Lambda-Lambda interaction and the existence of H-dibaryon are long-standing problems in hadron physics. Since high-energy heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC can be utilized as the exotic hadron factories [1], they would also provide information on exotic interactions such as Lambda-Lambda, Lambda-Sigma, Lambda-Xi interactions, which are important to understand neutron star matter EOS. We have analyzed recent STAR data [2] and find that small negative scattering length (1/a_0 < -1 fm^{-1}) and large effective range (r_{eff} > 3 fm) are favored for Lambda-Lambda interaction [3]. This is consistent with quark model interaction (fss2), recent boson exchange potential (NSC97), and old boson exchange potentials (ND, NF) with large hard-core radius. In the presentation, we first discuss how precisely we can constrain Lambda-Lambda interaction from heavy-ion data. We also discuss the effects of feed from heavier hyperons and coupling effects with Xi-N channel, and Lambda-Lambda correlation measured in (K-,K+) reactions [4].
