Superdeformed $\Lambda$ hypernuclei with antisymmetrized molecular   dynamics
  The response to the addition of a $\Lambda$ hyperon is investigated for the deformed states such as superdeformation in $^{41}_\Lambda$Ca, $^{46}_\Lambda $Sc and $^{48}_\Lambda$Sc. In the present study, we use the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) model. It is pointed out that many kinds of deformed bands appear in $^{45}$Sc and $^{47}$Sc. Especially, it is found that there exists superdeformed states in $^{45}$Sc. By the addition of a $\Lambda$ particle to $^{40}$Ca, $^{45}$Sc and $^{47}$Sc, it is predicted, for the first time, that the superdeformed states exist in the hypernuclei $^{41}_\Lambda$Ca and $^{46}_\Lambda$Sc. The manifestation of the dependence of the $\Lambda$-separation energy on nuclear deformation such as spherical, normal deformation and superdeformation is shown in the energy spectra of $^{41}_\Lambda$Ca, $^{46}_\Lambda $Sc and $^{48}_\Lambda$Sc hypernuclei.
