The HypHI Phase 0 experiment with Li-6 projectiles at 2 AGeV on a carbon target has been performed at GSI in order to demonstrate the feasibility of hypernuclear spectroscopy with induced reaction of heavy ion beams. Current data analyses have shown peaks in invariant mass distributions of p + pi (-) for I >, He-3+ pi (-) for (3) (I >) H and He-4 + pi (-) for (4) (I >) H. Lifetime values for the corresponding peaks have been also deduced, which are in good agreement with the former known values.
