Abstract
I investigate the low-energy scattering and femtoscopic correlation functions of the , , and 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- recoupling coefficients. Using the resulting interactions, I calculate the scattering parameters and momentum correlation functions for all spin channels. No bound states are found for the , , or systems. Nevertheless, the correlation exhibits a pronounced low-momentum enhancement associated with a large scattering length and a near-threshold pole, whereas the correlation is suppressed by its predominantly repulsive interaction. The neutral system shows only a moderate enhancement, while the charged correlation is strongly amplified by the attractive Coulomb interaction. I further investigate feed-down effects from , , and decays using Monte Carlo response matrices and demonstrate that these decays clearly modify the observable correlation. The results provide quantitative predictions for future femtoscopic measurements and establish deuteron-hyperon correlations as a sensitive probe of hyperon-nucleus interactions.
