Abstact
—The paper presents the upgrade project of the Hyperon-M experiment in the positive beam line of the U-70 accelerator complex in Protvino to study hadron-nuclear interaction mechanisms. It is proposed that the setup be upgraded to study the excited states of secondary nuclei formed by different types of primary hadron–nuclear interaction using precision nuclear gamma-ray spectroscopy. This could open a new direction of the nuclear physics at the junction with the physics of elementary particles at intermediate energies.
