Abstract
Study of the strangeness production in nuclear collisions is one of the main tasks of the NICA/MPD physics program. In this paper the results of the Monte Carlo investigation of the MPD detector performance for reconstruction of \(\bar {\Lambda }\), \({{\bar {\Xi }}^{ + }}\) and \({{\bar {\Omega }}^{ + }}\) hyperons in Au + Au collisions at \(\sqrt {{{s}_{{NN}}}} = 11\) GeV are presented, demonstrating the experiment’s capabilities to extract physics observables essential for the strangeness production study at the starting period of data taking.
