Even though both experimental and theoretical activities on hypernuclear physics have been extended by a number of international projects, direct measurements on hypernuclear magnetic moments and studies of hypernuclei at extreme isospins have never been performed. The international HypHI collaboration proposes to perform hypernuclear spectroscopy with stable heavy ion beams and rare isotope beams at GSI and FAIR in order to study neutron and proton rich hypernuclei and to measure directly hypernuclear magnetic moments. The project is divided into four phases. In the first Phase 0 experiment, the feasibility of precise hypernuclear spectroscopy with heavy ion beams will be demonstrated by observing π − decay channels of Λ 3 H, Λ 4 H and Λ 5 He with 6Li projectiles at 2 A GeV impinging on a 12C target. In the later Phases 1 through 3, studies of proton and neutron rich hypernuclei, direct measurements of hypernuclear magnetic moments and the spectroscopy of hypernuclei toward the nucleon drip-lines are planned.
