Ground state properties of charmed hypernuclei within a mean field approach

Closed shell charmed hypernuclei ⁵Li Λ_c, ^{17>/SUP>F Λ_c, 41Sc Λ_c, 57Cu Λ_c, 133Sb Λ_c, and 209Bi Λ_c are calculated within the Hartree-Fock approach by using three different force sets derived from microscopic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations of Λ hypernuclei. Ground state properties (binding energies, Λ_c separation energies, Λ_c single particle energies, and Λ_c densities) of charmed nuclei are examined. We confirm the results and conclusions of different models from the literature, related to Λ_c hypernuclei. Due to the Coulomb repulsion between protons and the Λ_c baryon, charmed hypernuclei are most bound for 16 ≤A ≤41 , where 17F Λ_c can be considered as an excellent candidate to determine charmed hypernuclei properties. The competition between the attractive nucleon-Λ_c interaction and the Coulomb repulsion is discussed, and we compare Λ and Λ_c hypernuclei properties.}
