Abstract

The study of the production of hyperons in heavy-ion collisions at NICA energies is among the principal goals in the scientific program of the MPD experiment. In this paper, the details of the hyperon reconstruction procedure as well as MPD detector performance for the measurements of the hyperon production in centrality selected Au + Au collisions are presented. The investigation has been performed at the Laboratory of High Energy Physics, JINR.
