We study the prospects for deducing constraints on the interaction of charmed baryons with nucleons from measurements of two-particle momentum correlation functions for . The correlation functions are calculated for
and
interactions that have been extrapolated from lattice QCD simulations at unphysical masses of
MeV to the physical point using chiral effective field theory as guideline. In addition, we consider phenomenological
models from the literature to explore the sensitivity of the results to the properties of the interaction in detail. We find that a measurement of the
correlation functions could indeed allow one to discriminate between strongly attractive
forces, as predicted by some phenomenological models, and a weakly attractive interaction as suggested by the presently available lattice simulations.
