FINUDA is the hypernuclear physics experiment carried out at DAΦNE, the e^+e^-, ϕ-factory of the INFN Frascati Laboratory. The aim of the experiment is to study simultaneously the formation and decay of hypernuclei produced by the strangeness exchange reaction induced by the stopped K^- coming from the decay of the ϕ (1020) mesons. This paper presents the first preliminary results concerning spectrometer performances, hypernuclear formation and decay from the first FINUDA data set.
