Description
Hyperons could provide essential signatures of the excited and compressed
baryonic matter. Their identification and reconstruction should be one of the
most important tasks of any experiment with heavy ions. The MPD/NICA start
version's characteristics for measuring hyperons (\Lambda, \bar\Lambda,
\Xi^-, \Omega^-) obtained on Monte Carlo simulated event samples of
gold-gold collisions at NICA energies will be presented. It will be
shown that the MPD start version will provide a good opportunity to
perform such measurements and the current status of the event
reconstruction algorithms and software is adequate for a study of the
strangeness production at NICA (achieved mass resolution 2-3 MeV/c^2
with high enough yields).
