Understanding the properties of strong interaction matter under extreme conditions of temperature and baryon density is a central objective of modern nuclear physics. While the phase structure of QCD at vanishing baryo-chemical potential is constrained by lattice QCD calculations and ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments at CERN and RHIC, its behaviour at higher net-baryon densities serves as an increasingly active area of experimental and theoretical study.

We present the first observation of $\mathrm{^{3}_ΛH}$ and $\mathrm{^{4}_ΛH}$ in Ag+Ag collisions at $\mathrm{\sqrt{s_{NN}}}$ = 2.55 GeV, emitted around mid-rapidity. The hypernuclei are reconstructed via their two-body decay channels and identified through their weak-decay topology, employing an artificial neural network for enhanced discrimination. [...]

MIMOSIS is the CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor designed for the Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) of the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment currently under development at FAIR. The sensors have to combine a spatial and a time resolution of 5 mu m and 5 mu s, handle a peak hit rate of similar to 80 MHz/cm(2), and to withstand Total Ionizing radiation Doses (TID) of similar to 5 MRad and Non-Ionizing Energy Loss (NIEL) fluences of similar to 7 x 10(13) n(eq)/cm(2) before being replaced.
