Is a Λ7Li hyperisomer possible?

The possibility of the existence of an isomeric state of Λ 7 Li is considered. The conclusion appears to depend crucially on the energy of the excited state 5 2 + of Λ 7 Li. If only the spin-dependent central Λ-N forces are taken into account to explain the splitting of the states in hypernuclei then different values of parameter Δ for different states have to be considered. Tensor and spin-orbit forces might contribute to the explanation of the apparent changes of Δ for different p-shell hypernuclei in their ground and excited states.
