Hyper-trition production in Ni+Ni at 1.91A GeV — •Ya Peng Zhang and Norbert Herrmann — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Heidelberg, Germany
Production of hypernuclei in heavy-ion collisions (HIC) is a unique way to study the interaction between strange baryons and the surrounding nuclear matter. In this constribution, we present the preliminary results of reconstructing hypertritons in Ni+Ni reactions at the incident energy of 1.91A GeV in the experiment performed with FOPI detector at SIS18 in GSI. A pronounced excess at the nominal mass of the hyper-triton was found in the invarimant mass spectra of π−−3He under certain selection criteria. The reconstruction efficiency and the background are analysed by means of extensive MC simulations of the detector response.
