Loosely-bound objects such as light nuclei are copiously produced in proton-proton and
nuclear collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), despite the fact that typical energy …

We present a detailed comparison of coalescence and thermal-statistical models for the
production of (anti-)(hyper-) nuclei in high-energy collisions. For the first time, such a study is …

High energy heavy ion collisions are excellent ways for producing heavy hadrons and
composite particles, including the light (anti) nuclei. With upgraded detectors at the …

This Letter presents the first experimental observation of the attractive strong interaction
between a proton and a multistrange baryon (hyperon) Ξ-. The result is extracted from two …

The centrality dependence of (multi-) strange hadron abundances is studied for Pb
(158AGeV) Pb reactions and compared to p (158GeV) Pb collisions. The microscopic …

We investigate the possibilities of using measurements in present and future experiments on
heavy ion collisions to answer some longstanding problems in hadronic physics, namely …

We study the production of (hyper-) nuclei and dibaryons in most central heavy ion collisions
at energies of Elab= 1–160A GeV. In particular we are interested in clusters produced from …

The study of nuclei and antinuclei production has proven to be a powerful tool to investigate
the formation mechanism of loosely bound states in high-energy hadronic collisions. The …

We report on the first femtoscopic measurement of baryon pairs, such as pp, p-Λ, and Λ-Λ,
measured by ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in proton-proton collisions at s= 7 …

The yield for the multistrange Ξ-hyperon has been measured in 6 AG e VA u+ A u collisions
via reconstruction of its decay products π-and Λ, the latter also being reconstructed from its …
