Since in these states the strong decay N Xi -> Lambda Lambda is forbidden by isospin conservation, these strange few-body systems will be stable under the strong interaction. These results may suggest that other states with different number of Ns and Xi s in the maximal isospin channel could also be bound. %R 10.1103/PhysRevC.94.024002 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1608.05192 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.94.024002 %P 024002-3pp
