Abstract

The main goal of the NICA/MPD facility is a study of the properties of hot and dense baryonic matter. One of the possible ways of doing this is to study strangeness production in nuclear collisions. The enhanced production of strange particles in heavy-ion collisions is considered to be a signal for the quark-gluon plasma formation. In this paper the MPD detector abilities to measure different hypernuclei species in Au+Au collisions at NICA energy region are presented.

Highlights

  • The main purpose of NICA is to study the behaviour o√f nuclear matter under extreme conditions [1]

  • The measurements will be performed with the MultiPurpose Detector (MPD) capable of detecting both the hadronic (π, K, p, Λ, Ξ, Ω) and non-hadronic (e, γ) probes

  • The present analysis is based on the MPD Stage I configuration (Fig. 1), which includes the main tracker Time Projection Chamber (TPC) supplemented by the Time-Of-Flight system
