Prospects for Studying Hyperons and Hypernuclei on the NICA Collider

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

NICA is a new flagship project in Dubna aimed at constructing a new accelerator complex for heavy ions. The main goal of the project is experimental exploration of the still poorly known region of the nuclear matter phase diagram of the highest net-baryon density. The MPD detector is a multi-purpose large acceptance spectrometer for studying heavy-ion collisions. An overview is presented of the NICA physics program for studying strangeness production and present MPD performance for reconstructing hyperons and hypernuclei.
