$p\Xi^- $ Correlation in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions with Nucleon-Hyperon Interaction from Lattice QCD

Understand

On the basis of the $p\Xi^-$ interaction extracted from (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations at the physical point, the momentum correlation of $p$ and $\Xi^-$ produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions is evaluated.

• $C_{\rm SL}(Q)$ defined by a ratio of the momentum correlations between the systems with different source sizes is shown to be largely enhanced at low momentum due to the strong attraction between $p$ and $\Xi^-$ in the $I=J=0$ channel.
• Thus, measuring this ratio at RHIC and LHC and its comparison to the theoretical analysis will give a useful constraint on the $p\Xi^-$ interaction.
