Bound states of $^{9}_{\phi}$Be and $^{6}_{\phi\phi}$He nuclei with $\phi$+$\alpha$+$\alpha$ and $\phi$+$\phi$+$\alpha$ cluster models

Abstract

We investigate the $^{9}_{\phi}$Be and $^{6}_{\phi\phi}$He $\phi$ mesic nuclei within the framework of the three-body cluster model as the $\phi$+$\alpha$+$\alpha$ and $\phi$+$\phi$+$\alpha$ systems, using the Faddeev formalism in configuration space. The $\phi$-$\alpha$ potential is determined through a folding procedure of the HAL QCD $\phi$-$N$ interaction in the $^4S_{3/2}$ channel with the matter distribution of $^4$He. The phenomenological $\alpha$-$\alpha$ and $\phi$-$\phi$ potentials are taken from the literature. Additionally, we construct a Wood-Saxon (WS) type interaction to simulate the $\phi$-$\alpha$ potential, also taken from the literature, based on an effective Lagrangian approach that includes $K\bar{K}$ meson loops in the $\phi$-meson self-energy. A comparison of binding energies obtained for both types of the $\phi$-$\alpha$ interactions reveals qualitative agreement. %between the obtained approaches. We predict the binding energy for the $^{9}_{\phi}$Be and $^{6}_{\phi\phi}$He $\phi$ mesic nuclei as the mirror $\phi$+$\alpha$+$\alpha$ and $\phi$+$\phi$+$\alpha$ systems in the range of 1-11 MeV and 3-10 MeV, respectively. The range of values of the binding energies relies on the choice of the WS $\phi$-$\alpha$ interaction parameters.
