Hyperons provide new angles on two of the most challenging problems in con-
temporary physics: a coherent and quantitative description of the strong in-
teraction, and the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. The produc-
tion dynamics and the electromagnetic structure of strange hyperons, as well
as hyperon spectroscopy, give insights into the strong interaction in the con-
finement domain. Furthermore, two-body decays of strange hyperons provide
clean tests of CP symmetry which provide pieces to the matter-antimatter puz-
zle. The future antiproton experiment PANDA at FAIR offers unique possibilities to study different aspects of hyperons. In particular, the hitherto almost
unexplored multi-strange sector will be addressed. The expected large production cross sections of hyperons and the versatile, near 4π
detector design makesPANDA a veritable hyperon factory already from the first phase of operation.
In these proceedings, the opportunities for hyperon physics with PANDA will be outlined. I will also address how different hyperon physics topics can benefit
from the weak hyperon decays, that provide straight-forward access to the full
spin density matrix.
