    Abstract

    I investigate the low-energy scattering and femtoscopic correlation functions of the d−Λ, d−Σ, and d−Ξ 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, I calculate the scattering parameters and momentum correlation functions for all spin channels. No bound states are found for the d−Λ, d−Σ, or d−Ξ systems. Nevertheless, the d−Λ correlation exhibits a pronounced low-momentum enhancement associated with a large scattering length and a near-threshold pole, whereas the d−Σ correlation is suppressed by its predominantly repulsive interaction. The neutral d−Ξ0 system shows only a moderate enhancement, while the charged d−Ξ− correlation is strongly amplified by the attractive Coulomb interaction. I 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 d−Λ correlation. The results provide quantitative predictions for future femtoscopic measurements and establish deuteron-hyperon correlations as a sensitive probe of hyperon-nucleus interactions.
