FINUDA (FIsica NUcleare a DAΦNE) is an experiment carried out at the DAΦNEe+e-- Φ-factory at the Frascati INFN laboratory. It was designed to produce andto study hypernuclei by stopping the low energy negative kaons from decay indifferent nuclear targets. The detector is a magnetic spectrometer optimized tohave the maximum momentum resolution anti acceptance for the tr- emitted inA-hypernuclens formation. At the same time the apparatus can also detect theformation and decay of strange hadronic systems. This work presents the detectorperformance and recent results obtained from the analysis of the first FINUDA dataset.
