The major goal of hypernuclear physics 1) To understand baryon-baryon interactions Fundamental and important for the study of nuclear physics To understand the baryon-baryon interaction, two-body scattering experiment is most useful. Total number of Nucleon (N) -Nucleon (N) data: 4,000 YN and YY potential models so far proposed (ex. Nijmegen, Julich, Kyoto-Niigata) have large ambiguity. ・ Total number of differential cross section Hyperon (Y) -Nucleon (N) data: 40 ・ NO YY scattering data
Therefore, as a substitute for the 2-body limited YN and non-existent YY scattering data, the systematic investigation of the structure of light hypernuclei is essential.

It is interesting to investigate the charge symmetry breaking effect in p-shell Λ hypernuclei as well as s-shell Λ hypernuclei. For this purpose, to study structure of A=7 Λ hypernuclei is suited. Because, core nuclei with A=6 are iso-triplet states. p p n n n p α α α 6Be 6Li(T=1) 6He

The binding of Li7 with and without CSB is almost the same. Because, there is cancellation between nΛ and pΛ CSB interaction. On the other hand, in the case of Be7L, the energy of Be7L with CSB make deeper bound by 0.2 MeV comparing with this value. And in the case of He7L, the energy with CSB interaction make less bound by 0.2 MeV comparing with this. Then, we found that binding energies with CSB interaction of He7L and Be7L became inconsistent with the data. Inconsistent with the data p n α
Comparing the data of A=4 and those of A=7, tendency of BΛ is opposite. Let me compare with the experimental data of A=4 hypernuclei and data of A=7 hypernuclei. In order to investigate CSB interaction, it was necessary to perform the energy spectra of A=4 hypernuclei again at JLab, Mainz and J-PARC.
