Abstract
The hypernucleus formation probability in nuclear collisions is formulated with a coalescence model and is calculated for p+Ne and Ne+Ne collisions at 2.1 GeV/nucleon and 5 GeV/nucleon. It is found that the probability of the hypernucleus formation at 5 GeV/nucleon is about a few times larger than at 2.1 GeV/nucleon and also that the probability of the hypernucleus formation in the Ne+Ne collisions is a few times larger than that in the p+Ne collisions. The cross section of Λ-hypernucleus formation is of the order of μb in the Ne+Ne collisions at 5 GeV/nucleon. The formation probability of multi-Λ hypernucleus is also discussed.
