Three-body forces acting on a $\Lambda$ hyperon in a nuclear medium are investigated, with special focus on the so-called hyperon puzzle in neutron stars. The hyperon-nucleon two-body interaction deduced from SU(3) chiral effective field theory is employed at next-to-leading order. Hyperon-nucleon three-body forces are approximated using saturation by decuplet baryons and are transcribed to density-dependent effective two-body interactions. These together are taken as input in a Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone equation with explicit treatment of the $\Lambda N\leftrightarrow\Sigma N$ and $\Lambda NN\leftrightarrow\Sigma NN$ coupled channels. Single-particle potentials of a $\Lambda$ hyperon in symmetric nuclear matter and neutron matter are calculated. With parameters of the $\Lambda NN$ three-body force constrained by hypernuclear phenomenology, extrapolations to high baryon density are performed. By comparison of the $\Lambda$ and neutron chemical potentials at densities characteristic of the core of neutron stars it is found that the combined repulsive effects of two- and three-body correlations makes the appearance of $\Lambda$ hyperons in neutron stars energetically unfavourable, thus offering a possible solution to a longstanding question.

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    In-medium potentials give the quarkyonic hyperon onset weight-2 leverage on U_Y, ban Σ⁻ in β-equilibrium, keep TOV softening ≲0.025 M_⊙, and leave core strangeness prior-dominated once neutrino FSI pin U_Λ(n0).

    nucl-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Isobar collision yields of ³_ΛH and light nuclei favor coalescence with non-Gaussian hypertriton wave functions that carry enhanced short-distance d–Λ probability, inconsistent with a Gaussian ansatz tied to the measu...

    nucl-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Hypertriton yields and Lambda ratios increase at lower collision energies but remain a factor of two below thermal models, while the double ratio to triton production stays constant at 0.4, pointing to intrinsically l...

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Including hyperons reduces maximum neutron-star mass by 0.05-0.10 solar masses and increases radius at 1.4 solar masses by 0.5-0.8 km across all models while keeping every equation of state consistent with the 2-solar...

    The IdylliQ model uses quark saturation to generate stiff equations of state and effective baryon repulsions that mitigate hyperon softening in neutron star matter.
