Hypernuclei and Antihypernuclei Production in Heavy-Ion Collisions

Abstract

In these proceedings, an overview of recent hypernuclei measurements in heavy ion collisions is presented. These results include the lifetime, $\Lambda$ binding energy, production yield, and directed flow in heavy ion collisions. These results provide constraints on the hyperon-nucleon interaction, enhance our understanding in hypernuclear structure, and provide insight on the production mechanisms of hypernuclei in heavy ion collisions.

Part of the proceedings for The 19th International Conference of Strangeness in Quark Matter (SQM 2021)
