Abstract

The present work is conducted in the field of few-body methods and it concerns the extension of the Non-Symmetrized Hyperspherical Harmonics method in order to treat quantum systems with different species of particles and additional degrees of freedom, like particle mixing. The aim is to introduce it as a new tool in the ab-initio study of light hypernuclei, and, more in general, of few-body quantum systems composed by a variety of different objects. To this end precise benchmark results for light hypernuclei with A=3-5 are provided and the perspectives of applications to systems with A>5 and the employment of the most recent hypernuclear interactions are discussed.
