Productions of $^3_Λ$H, $^4_Λ$H and $^4_Λ$He in different coalescence channels in Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=3$ GeV
Abstract: We study the productions of $\Lambda$-hypernuclei $3_{\Lambda}$H, $4_{\Lambda}$H and $4_{\Lambda}$He in the coalescence mechanism in Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=3$ GeV. Considering the abundance and great importance of baryons and light (hyper-)nuclei on the collision dynamics, we include not only nucleon$+\Lambda$ coalescence but also nucleus+nucleon($\Lambda$) coalescence. We present contributions from different coalescence channels for $3_{\Lambda}$H, $4_{\Lambda}$H and $4_{\Lambda}$He in their productions. We predict the production asymmetry between $4_{\Lambda}$H and $4_{\Lambda}$He, characterized by yield ratios $4_{\Lambda}\text{He}/4_{\Lambda}\text{H}$ and $(4_{\Lambda}\text{H}-4_{\Lambda}\text{He})/(4_{\Lambda}\text{H}+4_{\Lambda}\text{He})$, which can shed light on the existence constraints of the possible neutron-$\Lambda$ bound states $2_{\Lambda}n~(n\Lambda)$ and $3_{\Lambda}n~(nn\Lambda)$.
