Summary:Hybrid approaches including dynamical and statistical stages, which were previously developed for description of fragmentation of conventional nuclei, can explain production of hypernuclei emitted from projectile residues in relativistic ion collisions. These reactions proceed via formation of intermediate moderately-excited hypernuclear systems, which decay into conventional nuclei and hyperfragments. With a similar reaction mechanism one can also obtain weakly-bound exotic hypernuclei (such as Λn and H-dibaryons), which may not be easily accessible in other processes.
