Description
The production of light (anti)nuclei in heavy-ion collisions has been extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically for many decades. Two competing models, the statistical hadronisation model (SHM) and the nucleon coalescence model, are commonly used to describe the yields and ratios of light (anti)nuclei to other hadrons in heavy-ion collisions.
Recently, the ALICE collaboration has measured antideuteron number fluctuations on an event-by-event basis in heavy-ion collisions. This measurement can be used as an additional test to distinguish between the competing SHM and coalescence models. Moreover, we use antinuclei-to-nuclei ratios, besides the ratios of other hadron species, to measure $\mu_B$ with unprecedented precision, profitig of the high sensitivity of light (anti)nuclei, which have a large baryon number, to the baryon chemical potential in heavy-ion collisions.
