An alternative picture exists where the center\u0000of a Y-shaped topology of gluon fields, called the baryon junction, carries a\u0000unit baryon number. Studying baryon transport over a large rapidity gap\u0000($delta y$) in nuclear collisions provides a possible tool to distinguish\u0000these two pictures. A recent analysis of global data on net-proton yield at\u0000mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions showed an exponential dependence on $delta y$\u0000and the exponential slope does not vary with event centrality, favoring the\u0000baryon junction picture. Since junctions are flavor blind, hyperons -- baryons\u0000containing valence strange quarks -- are expected to exhibit a similar behavior\u0000as the proton. This study aims to test this prediction by analyzing hyperon\u0000yields in Au+Au collisions at various energies. We observe that net-hyperon\u0000yields, after correcting for the strangeness production suppression, adhere to\u0000the expected exponential form. The extracted slope parameters for\u0000net-$Lambda$, net-$Xi$ and net-$Omega$ are consistent with each other and\u0000with those of net-proton within uncertainties, and exhibit no centrality\u0000dependence, further substantiating the baryon junction picture.
