Deformation of Lambda hypernuclei
  We study the deformation property of $\Lambda$ hypernuclei using the relativistic mean field (RMF) method. We find that $^{29}_{\Lambda}$Si and $^{13}_{\Lambda}$C hypernuclei have spherical shape as a consequence of the additional $\Lambda$ particle, whereas the corresponding core nuclei, $^{28}$Si and $^{12}$C, are oblately deformed. Most of other hypernuclei have a similar deformation parameter to the core nucleus, in accordance with the previous study with the non-relativistic Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method. We discuss the sensitivity of our results to the choice of pairing interaction and to the parameter set of the RMF Lagrangian.
