Abstract

Pioneering experiments on production of hypernuclei can be performed with nuclotron beams on fixed targets, and at the future NICA facility. The peripheral collisions of relativistic ions are very promising for searching mutli-strange and exotic hypernuclei which are not easy accessible with other experimental methods. In these experiments one can also get information on the Equation of State of hyper-matter around nuclear saturation density at low and moderate temperatures.
