Traditionally hypernuclear physics experiments are fixed target ones and they are carried out at secondary beam of hadron accelerators.
However storage rings represent an interesting alternative approach.
In my contribution I will historically review few selected examples of hypernuclear studies performed at storage rings and I will illustrate the perspectives of some hypernuclear...

The SDDHARTA experiment (SIlicon Drift Detector for Hadronic Atom Research by Timing Application) has the aim to perform kaonic atoms X-ray
transitions measurements, with the goal to better understand aspects of
the low-energy QCD in the strangeness sector. The experiment combined the
excellent low-energy kaon beam generated at DAFNE, allowing to use gaseous targets, with excellent fast...

Plenary Contribution
The information coming from the study of the Lambda-hypernuclei weak decay channels complements the knowledge of strange nuclear systems obtained by both missing mass and gamma-ray spectroscopy measurements. Lambda-hypernuclei decay through both the mesonic weak decay (MWD) processes:
AΛZ →A(Z+1) + pi- (Γpi-) (1)
AΛZ →(A)Z + pi0 (Γpi0) (2)
and the non-mesonic...

Plenary Contribution
The replacement of a nucleon with a Λ hyperon leads to the production of Λ-hypernuclei. These strange systems are more stable than ordinary nuclei due to the compression of the nuclear core and to the addition of an extra binding energy from the Λ hyperon, which plays the so called “glue-like” role, being free from the Pauli blocking effect. In this respect, Λ-hypernuclei are better candidates...

Plenary Contribution
The SuperB accelerator will be an asymmetric heavy flavour factory
where e+, e- beams will collide with a peak luminosity of 10^36 cm-2 s-1
at the Y(4S) resonance c.m. energy of 10.58 GeV. The B-Bbar meson pairs,
produced with a B.R. > 96% from the decay of the Y(4S), will allow to
measure the B-meson decay channels with unparalled precision.
The SuperB e+, e- beams are characterized, at...

Parallel Contribution
The most recent developments in the field of the Strong Interaction Physics led the High Energy Community to investigate very rare reactions (production of strange baryons, formation of heavy quark systems?) using quite rare projectiles like antiprotons or kaons (1,2). Since these reactions have in general very low cross section, they require very intense beams to produce high statistics and...

Parallel Contribution
The AMADEUS experiment [1,2] aims to perform dedicated precision studies in the sector of low-energy kaon-nuclei interaction at the DAFNE collider at LNF-INFN. In particular, the experiment plans to perform measurements of the so-called (very debated) deeply bound kaonic nuclei and, if existent, to measure their properties (binding energies and widths) by using the stopped kaons in cryogenic...
