【 摘 要 】

In the last decade, heavy-ion collision experiments have brought new insight to the study of hypernucleus. Experiments using ion induced reactions for hypernuclear research focus on two distinct aspects: the spectroscopy and probing the nuclear reaction. In the case of the experimental spectroscopy, the internal structure of hypernuclei is investigated in order to determine the baryon-baryon interaction in the strangeness sector for the hyper-matter equation of state. The dynamical aspect of the nucleus-nucleus reaction can also be explored by studying the production of hypernuclei. The experimental observations of the production mechanisms responsible for the formation of the hypernuclei in ion collisions will be presented. Depending of the center-of-mass energy and the type of experiment, fixed target or collider, hypernuclei can be produced in the mid-rapidity and/or in the spectator regions. The experimental results from both cases will be presented and discussed.
