Abstract

We investigate the low-energy scattering and femtoscopic correlation functions of the dΛ, dΣ, and dΞ systems within a microscopic folding approach. The effective deuteron–hyperon interactions are constructed by folding the HAL-QCD hyperon–nucleon potentials with the deuteron wave function, while the spin and isospin structures are treated through Wigner-6j recoupling coefficients. Using the resulting interactions, we calculate the scattering parameters and momentum correlation functions for all spin channels. No bound states are found for the dΛ, dΣ, or dΞ systems. Nevertheless, the dΛ correlation exhibits a pronounced low-momentum enhancement associated with a large scattering length and a near-threshold pole, whereas the dΣ correlation is suppressed by its predominantly repulsive interaction. The neutral dΞ0 system shows only a moderate enhancement, while the charged dΞ correlation is strongly amplified by the attractive Coulomb interaction. We further investigate feed-down effects from Σ0, Σ(1385), and Ξ decays using Monte Carlo response matrices and demonstrate that these decays clearly modify the observable dΛ correlation. Our results provide quantitative predictions for future femtoscopic measurements and establish deuteron–hyperon correlations as a sensitive probe of hyperon–nucleus interactions.
