Abstract
We present a first calculation of the potential and spinorbit coupling for hypernuclei in the framework of a nuclearpotential model based on a spontaneous collective superradiant pionnucleondelta interaction A perturbative evaluation of the propagation of a hyperon in such a coherent medium leads to an effective hypernuclear potential of the same shape and roughly half the depth ie∼30 MeV of the standard nuclear potential and a negligible spinorbit coupling for both Λ and Σ hypernuclei Such results are in complete agreement with existing experimental data Moreover in this framework we are able to explain the surprisingly narrow decay widths of the Σ hypernuclei
